Historic Parade Declares
–
"What the Buck?! It's Doo Dah!!"
25th Annual DOO DAH PARADE Plan Promises of Serious Bling, Glitter and Glitz
Rumors Afloat of DOO DAH BLOCK PARTY?... yes, Block Party.
DOO DAH PARADE – July 4
(PARADE RAIN DATE – July 3)
(Columbus) The nearly historic DisOrganizers of the 25th Annual Doo Dah Parade are reaching out to all of Central
Ohio’s local indie artists, rockers, bankers, bikers, lawyers, poets,
politicians, weather-persons, residents, observers, potential celebrities, dog-lovers or otherwise interested parties to join
us for the nation’s greatest, and oldest, continual Fourth of July parade.
“Believe it or not, DOO DAH is just around the corner! We’re accepting all citizens and aliens brave enough to declare their allegiance to oddity, wave
the flags of Free Speech, rock out in the streets… and take the time to pimp out their ride (or bodies) into a hot,
yet irreverent, display for the 25th Annual DOO DAH parade,”
said Doo Dah ChairChick Deb. “This event is among the finest cultural-clash
events of the year, and we expect a record crowd to celebrate all that is artistic, sarcastic and marginally witty. On July 4th @ 1:00 p.m., march with us and the Less-Than-Grand Marshall, Columbus’ Original Godfather of Fun – Mayor Dana G. “BUCK” Rinehart.”
Those who want
to express the fullest in DOO DAH can get ideas on how to create a float, march and dance, volunteer, see old photos of those
Marching Fidel's, Batman, etc., or even DONATE to keep the DOO DAH tradition limping along for one more glorious year, can
visit us at: http://www.doodahparade.com/ … (yes, we’re aware the site doesn’t all work, and no we’re not responsible for the linked photos…
TOO RISQUÉ!).
