Memorial Weekend Parade in Bellingham WA

I'd like to take this opportunity to invite Smart Car owners in the Great Pacific North West to join me for Bellingham Washington's big annual event.
Each year athletes come from all over the country to compete in our Ski to Sea race. As the name implies skiers start the relay on Mt Baker passing the baton to road bikes, mountain bikes, canoes and kayakers till they reach Fairhaven in Bellingham. Lots of fun and festivities go with the event including a parade.
Love to see twenty or thirty Smart cars join me for the parade. I'm proposing a pre-parade breakfast and a tech time at my shop after.
Of course just getting together with other owners is fun but I'm hoping the SCCA will sanction a "solo" rally that weekend as well. We'll call it Monty Python goes racing.
Please P/M

Sorry Timo. This is my first post so I discovered I can't P/M yet.
The Race is Sunday May 24 so the parade is Saturday the 23rd. Registration doesn't open till March but will happily keep all those interested up to date as the time approaches.

Hi, Benz Tech ,

A tech meet too? I just wonder - maybe Area 541 woudn't love a road trip, being all rejuvinated after a long awaited honeymoon and all could help with a few installations? I'm not ready to try an installation, (and maybe others aren't either?)

Although I'm limited on time away from home, an overnighter might work out - I'd be going from Lincoln City to Bellingham.

I jus love our commnity, don't you?

Most possible the fish-mobile-smart could make it. Depends on whether I have a new bookkeeper trained yet or not. Keeping my wheels crossed!!!

Well, my wife and I love Bellingham, and especially the community of Fairhaven, so I'm thinkin' that we could make it up for the parade, and probably just overnight up there somewhere! I'm always off on Saturday, so I'll just put in for Sunday as well!!!

Hi BenzTek, What a great idea. Would love to get a meet together. Bellingham has quite a few Smarts. Actually I'm the red Smart who drives down the Guide from Cordata at the same time as you sometimes. I have 'TINYRED'. Keep me informed about the Memorial weekend plan. It should be fun.

Just got my Smart 6 days ago. Would love to do the parade but unfortunately I have to work. Maybe I could have a friend or my son participate for me.
