trooper96[501st] Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 This will be the second year we will participate in the Christmas parade in my hometown of Ninety Six (the first as official 501st members). We were told the theme for the parade would be "A Star Spangled Christmas", I assume a patriotic celebration of the holiday season. Our group will (of course) feature two 501st stormtroopers and assorted non-501st costumed characters. It seems interest in our group is growing and we hope to guide them to eventually join the Legion. The parade will be this Saturday, December 5th at 11:00am. Pleasant weather is expected. In keeping with this year's theme, this will be the 9' x 6' banner preceding us... Stay tuned... Pictures of the event to be posted later! 2 Quote
trooper96[501st] Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Posted December 6, 2015 Still trying to find a few pictures. Here's a couple I found on Facebook. Here's our group photo, buckets off. 501st members are TK-71063 (second from left) and me, TK-14082 (between Vader and Leia). The weather was beautiful, about 50F. Perfect for a stroll in white armor! We were probably the only group that people stopped to take pictures with us. One lady asked where we bought those costumes. I told her we made them. She said, "No, you did not make those." LOL I'll get more pictures and post them later. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote

trooper96[501st] Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Awards were presented today. They didn't ask us to appear in costume, but we did anyway! We walked across town to the Visitor's Center. Had to stop several times for pictures. Just a fun time! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Edited January 4, 2016 by trooper96 1 Quote
