Knight Parade

Ybor Knight Parade

February 14, 2023 No Comments

The Ybor parade was threatened by weather, but all that did was rally everyone together for an awesome party and parade. Congratulations to Rodney Rohrs and his Ybor Knight committee for throwing such a great event for the Krewe. The day kicked off in a private little speakeasy environment  at the Stone Soup Café that was filled with great cheer, drink and food. From there, King Raj and Queen Megan led their loyal subjects through a fun filled parade over the loaded streets of Ybor City. Neptune’s float covered the city with beads, and looked awesome with an enhanced glow of color.  A great time for sure! Thanks again to all that helped make this event so enjoyable.

Captain’s Notes – Gasparilla 2023

January 31, 2023 1 Comment

Was Gasparilla the kick off to the parade season that we expected? It was that and a whole lot more! Wow! What a beginning to the 2023 season. Still so much ahead of us, but a fantastic start. Congratulations and many thanks to Bob Hill and his Gasparilla committee. Thanks to all that contributed so much supporting the float, the music, the food, the drink, the venue, the beads and most of all the comradery that brings us all together for so much fun. The Friday night White Party got us off to a great start and everyone rallied their energy for a super parade. See you all in two weeks at the DeSoto Knight Parade. Rest up, it going to be another big day. Al Guenthardt Captain XLII

YMKN family, Congratulations and a sound out to all that joined in on the Gasparilla Children’s Parade! Kevin McWilliams and his fantastic committee put on a fantastic event for all. The children will remember this parade for a life time. Special thanks to Marcie Shultz for the face tattoos. The ducks were a big success as well! In all we had 96 attendees and there was no lack of enthusiasm and energy from the kids. We can now look forward to the Gasparilla Parade next Saturday with confidence that our music and float are ready to roll for our biggest event and weekend of the year! Let’s get ready to celebrate all that is Gasparilla YMKN! Al Guenthardt Captain XLII
