Third
Annual Handmade Parade Theme
Announced
Laaaaadies and Gentleman!
King Quasimodo the Humptillionth
and Queen Inertia the
Megamillionth do hereby decree
that the theme for the 2010
Handmade Parade... shall be 'ENO
RIVER RHYTHMS'.
This year's theme has been
conceived to encourage costumes
and parade ensembles that
portray movement. We will create
a parade that will bring the
rhythm of the river to the
streets!
...can you feel the beat?
the pulse of the
river?
the
heartbeat of town flowing down
the street
one beautiful day?
The Handmade Parade is
Hillsborough's own grass roots
community participation
celebration. This is your event
. . . we need you, your family,
and your friends to be a part of
this magical handmade parade on
the streets of Hillsborough. We
need your energy and your ideas.
To receive priority updates of
parade news, gatherings, events
and workshops sign up for Parade
News today! And
please! . . . pass this along to
your friends.

Handmade
Parade Workshop Announcement
2010 Leadership Workshop:
Parade Design, Costume and Giant
Puppet-making for Adults
Two Saturdays: Saturday July 24
and Saturday July 31
If you only attend one workshop
this parade season, this may be
the most important one . . .
especially for those who would
like to help others in leading a
parade crew . . . a group of
friends, a church group, your
school, class, or business.
As the leader of a group, you can
participate in the leadership
workshop for free. Use your new
skills to help create your group's
unique parade entry. Members of
your group can then take the
community workshops throughout the
parade season to help refine the
group’s ideas. You’ll be surprised
at the creativity within yourself
and your group!
This will be a fun and
comprehensive two day workshop to
give you basic skills and will
then focus on more advanced
techniques. In addition, this is
the workshop for teachers, artists
and those that have previously
taken workshops that seek to
refine their skills, network, and
learn more advanced fabrication
techniques to construct large
puppets with moving arms legs and
wings . . . an opportunity to
create dancing mobiles!
With your registration, you'll
receive information manuals and
you will be sent links to
inspiring websites that will get
your ideas flowing. Although this
workshop will have a focus of
advanced techniques, anyone is
welcome. There will be folks
willing to help all levels. This
is an adult workshop (with a
minimum age of 14). There will be
additional workshops for children
during the parade season.
