Flotilla 74 represented the USCG Auxiliary in the Flambeau Night Parade in San Antonio, TX
Last Saturday, April 25 a team from Fl 74 and their guest of honor, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Granger from DirAux rode one of the flotilla's facility in the 2.6 miles parade route.
The Granger's wore casual attire representing the boating public with three Auxiliarists in their ODUs and their life jackets guarding the boating couple. The towing vehicle was driven by DSO-PA, Frank Dannenberg, Jr. and QE Fred Dayeso from Fl74 was riding shotgun also in their ODUs.
The vehicle had on each back door New Bilingual Magnetic Logos, "WEAR IT!/ PONTELO! and the USCGAUX Magnetic Logos on the front doors.
The theme for the parade this year was "Las Vegas." Two beautiful banners were donated by RED HOT SIGNS of San Antonio and were tape to the sides of the boat with the message,"Do Not Gamble With Your Life! WEAR IT! PONTELO!" A nice life jacket logo separated the Spanish and English message.
The crowd of over 500,000+ expressed their love to the men and women of the United States Coast Guard and the Auxiliary. It was a beautiful evening full of fun and color.
What an easy fun way to take our message to over 1/2 million people in a couple of hours at a cost of around $25 dollars including dinner.
