AND DEFINITELY WE HAVE, UM, I KNOW 193 PARTICIPANTS IN TODAY'S PARADE.
UM, AND THAT INCLUDES WELL OVER PROBABLY 300 VEHICLES AND ABOUT FIVE TO 600 PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE PARADE ITSELF.
AND THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE ALL OF THE SPECTATORS THAT WE HAVE.
WELL, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE OUT.
I MEAN, IT'S A GREAT DAY FOR A PARADE.
NOW WE HAVE HAD SOME VERY WARM AND VERY COLD ONES UP HERE ON THIS STAGE.
BUT TODAY I WILL SAY IT'S PRETTY.
LAST YEAR WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN, BUT IT WENT AWAY RIGHT AS THE PARADE STARTED.
I'M TRYING TO RE I'M GONNA LIE HERE.
I'M TRYING TO READ ON THE SIDE OF WHO? THAT LITTLE CRITTER BARN.
OH, DID YOU SEE THE LITTLE, THE LITTLE DOGS INSIDE THAT ARE DRESSED UP? LIKE, OR IT'S THAT REAL CHICKENS? I THINK, I WOULD THINK.
ARE THEY DOGS DRESSED UP OR ARE THOSE ACTUAL GOATS? THOSE ARE REAL GOATS.
[00:10:02]
WE GOT IT WRONG.AT LEAST I'M NOT SAYING IT'S A FORD MUSTANG.
I KNOW IF WE HAVE SOME OLD CARS, RIGHT.
WE'LL DEFINITELY HAVE TO BE CORRECTED ON, ON WHAT THEY ARE.
YOU'VE DONE THIS SO MANY YEARS.
THE JOKES ARE STARTING TO GET OLD, BUT IT'S THE WORK ONCE A YEAR.
SO THEY'RE NOT GETTING SICK OF OUR, OUR ELDERLY.
WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE MOVING INTO BUFORD COUNTY RIGHT NOW.
BUT HAVE YOU BROUGHT, BOUGHT YOUR KIDS A DRUM SET YET? THERE YOU GO.
I THINK YOU SAY THAT EVERY YEAR.
PAM METTA, ANIMAL LEAGUE, COMING INTO VIEW, THEY DO SO MUCH.
UM, THE MAY RIVER HIGH SCHOOL IS ANIMAL WELFARE CLUB AND THE PALMETTO ANIMAL LEAGUE WORKED VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER.
UM, AND THEY DO A LOT OF FUNCTIONS.
I KNOW LAST YEAR THEY WORKED ON BRINGING ANIMALS INTO MAY RIVER DURING AP TESTING.
SO JUST TO CALM THE KIDS DOWN.
SO THEY'RE A GREAT GROUP OF KIDS, RIGHT? AND THIS IS KIND OF UNIQUE.
THIS IS PART OF PAL TOO, BUT IT'S THEIR ACTUAL FLOAT, WHICH IS REALLY COOL.
SHE'S BEEN LEADING HOW FOR A REALLY LONG TIME AND, AND FINDING HOMES FOR A LOT OF ANIMALS, YOU WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO HOME DEPOT.
THEY GOT A POSTER ON THE BACK.
THEY HELPED THEM BUILD THEIR FLOAT.
SO ANY CAM YOU CAN DONATE TO THE PALMETTO ANIMAL LEAGUE.

SO THESE, UM, I RECOGNIZE NOW WE'RE THIS GROUP OF LARGE LOOK.
HE BROUGHT HIS HELICOPTER WITH HIM.
THIS IS A NEW ENTRY HELICOPTER TOURS FROM HILTON HEAD.
SO THEY ENTERED WHEN THEY SEND IN THEIR APPLICATION AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WANTED TO PUT A HELICOPTER IN THE PARADE.
I GOT A LITTLE NERVOUS CAUSE I WAS THINKING AND THEY WERE LIKE, IT'S NOT REALLY BIG.
AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY COOL.
THAT'S KIND OF BEING A TOURIST IN YOUR OWN TOWN.
HE'S ACTUALLY FLOWN US TO DO SOME AERIALS, GREAT PILOT, GREAT PERSON TO BE AROUND.
IT'S JUST A LOT OF FUN AND HE DOES A GOOD TOUR TOO.
THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO TRY OUT.
I'LL TELL YOU IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN IN A HELICOPTER.
YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT AT LEAST ONE.
WE HAVE TO GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO TOMMY'S.
THEY ALWAYS BRING THE RECORDS FOR US TO PUT OUR BROADCAST POSITION ON AS WELL AS OUR JUDGES AND ALWAYS JUST GREAT TO WORK WITH.
THEY'RE EASY TO WORK WITH FOR SO MANY YEARS.
UM, JUST BECAUSE THEY DO HELP US OUT SO MUCH.
AND THEY'VE GOT A FEW OF THEIR RIGS OUT HERE TODAY.

HE REALLY DOES, BUT THEY'RE ALL IN THE PARADE TOO.
YOU NEVER LIED TO REALLY CALL THEM, BUT YOU GLAD TO KNOW THEY'RE THERE WHEN YOU NEED THEM.
AND TOMMY OF COURSE DOES HAVE RECORDS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.
I LIKED THE BACK OF THAT SNOWMAN ON IT.
I MEAN, ANYTHING THAT YOU NEED TOWED TOMMY'S TOWING CAN DO IT.
AND THIS ONE, UM, WE ALWAYS WARN PEOPLE.
IF YOU'VE GOT A BIG VEHICLE, MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN MAKE THE TURN FROM BRIDGE STREET TO CALHOUN.
CAUSE IT CAN BE A LITTLE TIGHT.
REMEMBER THE YEAR WE HAD THE SEMI.
[00:15:03]
OH, THAT'S COOL.HEY, MERRY CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS AND MAKE SURE YOU GET A GOOD SHOT OF THE KIDS INSIDE THE SLEEPER.
I COULD BE AN OFFICE ON WHEELS RIGHT THERE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE? OKAY, SO I'M FIVE, TWO.
UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD EVEN GET INTO THAT.
THERE'S GOTTA BE A STEP LADDER INVOLVED SOMEWHERE.
UM, BUT THIS IS ALSO ONE OF THOSE VEHICLE WE HAVE EVERY YEAR.
UM, I KNOW ONE YEAR IT WAS A LITTLE SCARY.
SO WE WE'VE ASKED THEM TO HAVE THEIR OWN SPOTTERS TO MAKE SURE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN MAKE IT AROUND THE CORNERS AND MAKE SURE THAT, UM, EVERYONE STAYS SAFE.
WELL, IF THE KIDS ARE DRIVING AGE, NOW I COULD SUGGEST THIS BYE.
UM, MY OLDEST WOULD ACTUALLY REALLY ENJOY GREAT.
THERE'S THE LATTER IN THE BACK.
IT'S LIKE A 10 FOOT LADDER JUST TO GET INTO A VEHICLE.
IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO LIKE A MUD BOG RACE, IT'S A LOT OF FUN.
HERE'S OUR FRIENDS FROM HEARTBREAK COMMUNICATIONS ARE GRAY, AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE COUNTY CHANNEL.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY IN ACTIVE COAST GUARD OUT OF SAVANNAH.
UM, SO WE THANK THEM FOR THEIR SERVICE COAST GUARDS MERRY CHRISTMAS.

UM, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR LIKE, IF YOU HAVE A LARGE PARTY GROUP, UM, THIS GOES BACK TO THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON DISTRACTED DRIVING CAMPAIGN RIGHT NOW.
IT, UH, IT IS SO MUCH BETTER TO FIND AN UBER, FIND A FRIEND, FIND A CAB, FIND A PARTY LIMOUSINE LIKE THIS.
IF YOU WANT TO GO OUT AND HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH YOUR FRIENDS, JUST BE SMART AND HIRE A BUS LIKE THIS THAT CAN SAFELY GETS YOU TO YOUR DESTINATION AND SAFELY GET YOU HOME.
IT'S A LOT CHEAPER THAN PAYING THE LEGAL FEES.
AND IT'S A LOT SAFER THAN HURTING ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD.
I SAW A BILLBOARD ON THE ROAD.
IT'S GOING TO COST YOU A MINIMUM $10,000.
IF YOU HAVE TO LITIGATE AND IT COULD PROBABLY COST YOU YOUR JOB, YOUR CAREER, YOUR FAMILY, POSSIBLY REASON FOR IT.
WELL IN THE MOTION OF THE PARADE RIGHT HERE, I WILL SAY, UM, BEFORE WE GET TO THE BAND, BECAUSE THE BAND IS SO COOL.

THE ONE THING THAT WE HAVEN'T MENTIONED THAT WE USUALLY DO EVERY YEAR, UM, ANYTIME YOU SAY A MARCHING BAND LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW THIS FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND HOW HARD IT IS TO WALK THE PARADE ROUTE WITH YOUR LARGE INSTRUMENT, STOPPING ME TO DO A PERFORMANCE LIKE THAT IN THIS BAND, THEY ARE ACTUALLY WEARING THEIR UNIFORMS. I RESPECT A BAND THAT STILL WEARS THEIR UNIFORMS AND PARADES AND NOT JUST GOES.
LIKE I SAID, THEY JUST GOT BACK FROM CHICAGO WHERE THEY WERE ASKED TO BE PART OF THE THANKSGIVING BREAK, WHICH IS AN AWESOME HONOR.
MERRY CHRISTMAS HOPE PERFORMANCE SYSTEMS, COUNSELING CENTER.
