The first parade was in 1924 so this is the 100th Anniversary of the parade and The Pride of WV, the Mountaineer Marching Band will be included!  We are looking at trying something a little different for this trip.  We will have 2 full days and 1 evening in NYC, and 2 nights lodging at a hotel in the city.  

We will leave early, 6AM on Wednesday Nov. 27 and should arrive in NYC around 6PM.  We will stop for lunch along the way, as well as several rest breaks.  We'll check into the hotel and you can enjoy Wednesday evening in the Big Apple.  The next day is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, so get up early to get your prime spot for watching, before spending another night at the hotel.   And it wouldn't be right to leave without enjoying Black Friday shopping in NYC, so we will check out of the hotel, but leave your bags with them so that you can shop till you drop or at least until 9PM, when you would make your way back to the hotel to gather your bags and load the bus for the trip back home through the night. (You should be very tired from all that shopping and sleep well).    

Pricing is based on occupancy per person.  We need a minimum of 50 passengers on the bus by August 15th to take the trip.  To register, please click the link to the right and it will take you to the registration signup page.  Once I get your signup info, I will email the registration agreement.   An invoice for the
