• <br /> Cokato Parade <br /> Parades wound down this quarter with Cokato and <br /> Rockford in August and Dassel in September. Cokato <br /> was probably the most memorable, to the left is a shot <br /> of the temperature about 45 minutes into the parade. f <br /> With a temp of 102, one of my camera operators <br /> started feeling a little light headed. Bill assisted by <br /> giving him water and taking his camera for a short time. <br /> Soon he was back on his feet and feeling better. <br /> Rockford Parade <br /> The Rockford Parade is unique in that we have to tear down the <br /> trailer as quickly as possible and move it to the park, and then set <br /> ° r- up all the equipment again to tape the queen coronation. <br /> . W <br /> Dassel Parade <br /> Dassel's Parade was another new experience. For the first time we were able to broadcast live <br /> from a location not next to city hall. Using the Leightronix Pegvault, we were able to plug into <br /> the elementary school's internet and broadcast the parade live over Dassel's channel 20 <br /> Movie in the Park <br /> There were eleven movies this quarter. The most notable movies were: <br /> In Cokato, the air was thick, the humidity was very high. As we were putting the screen away <br /> we noticed that it was saturated. The next day the humidity had dropped and I was concerned <br /> about mildew so I took the opportunity to pull out the screen, lay it out and dry it in the sun. <br /> Monticello's movies this year were different then other cities, with choices like "The Blind Side" <br /> and "Ghostbusters". They seemed to cater to families with older kids. Ghostbusters was set up <br /> in a downtown parking lot with a visit from the Minnesota chapter of Ghostbusters. From the car <br /> to the unlicensed particle accelerators strapped to their backs , these fans made a good evening <br /> better. <br /> At Rockford, due to possible bad weather, we decided to move the movie to the backup location <br /> • <br /> at the Rockford High School Auditorium. "The Princess and the Frog" pulled in somewhere <br /> around 40 to 50 people, but what was notable was the fact that we could do movies in the winter <br /> easily. We borrowed the schools rear projection screen that was stored behind the stage <br /> curtain. With our projector, it was almost like going to the theater except with better sound. <br />
