Encinitas Holiday Parade Judges Needed, DEC 2

Here is a chance to be part of the community in the Encinitas Holiday Parade celebrating the Arts!

We are looking for 4-5 judges and I was hoping to have artists judging art versus untrained eyes.

The Parade:
Saturday December 2nd (this Saturday)
5:30pm - 7:15(ish)
Downtown Encinitas/101

Judges:
1. Arrive at the Lumberyard Grandstands no later than 5pm (next to Starbucks and St. Tropez)
2. Judge each of the entries as they go by based on a very simple judging scale (5:35-7:15pm)

You will receive:
1. Free VIP parking across the street behind the Encinitas Fish Shop (if needed) with quick access from 3rd street
2. St. Tropez sandwiches and treats
3. Starbucks coffee and/or tea
4. An amazing view of the parade
5. A small narrative of who you are, your local business, and holidays wishes (if you so desire:)
6. A priceless experience

You will want to do it again next...it's that fun.
