MOTD Parade Beads!

About a week ago I hinted about a surprise Dragon swag item that I plan to have available at Fontana. And here it is...MOTD6 parade beads! The beads are in assorted colors and each strand has a plastic medallion with the MOTD6 patch design. Each strand is wrapped in a poly bag (no tangling!) I'll have these beads at Fontana for $2 a strand or two strands for $3.



Wear them at the Dragon Parade! Wear them at the parties! Hang them from your rear-view mirror!

I'm doing this to raise some additional funds to add to the patch sale funds in an effort to reach my goal of $500 for Easter Seals. No advance sales on these but I would like to get an idea of interest in them so I can figure out how many to bring to Fontana. So please post if interested and how many you'd want to so I can have an idea. Thanks!

I think it would be smart to have these available for those who cannot attend, but wish to support your cause and get cool swag! Figure out what you'll charge for shipping & handling and I'll buy a bunch of them!

If we are going with a Mardi Gras theme at this years MOTD then I'll take $12.00 worth

Will there be a Body Paint Vendor?

How many different colors will you be offering?

I don't want to *request* a specific color (except to avoid orange), but depending upon the colors available, I'll buy 2 strands of each!

I kind of thought folks would like these! I had similar ones made for Sunshine MINIs last year when we did our holiday parades and the crowds loved them!

The bead colors will be assorted. Red, blue, green, purple, gold, white, etc...

Hmmm. Well, the more the merrier! I am willing to ship to those who will not be there but I'll have to do it after I return from MOTD. I just finished shipping all the patches and have a bunch of other things to do before I leave.

So if you aren't going to MOTD and want parade beads, please PM ME with your request and we'll work it out.

Thanks for the suggestion Clo!

We'll take at least two depending on color choices.

If available, we'll take the orange ones Erika doesn't want.
