The 2012 Porsche Parade

The Parade is coming! The Parade is coming! This summer, the 57th Porsche Parade will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah from Sunday, July 8th – Saturday, July 14th, 2012. We need to be there! We all love a parade and the Porsche Parade is my favorite parade. This years’ Parade in Salt Lake City is in our own backyard. Perfect for a High Desert mass showing. The Parade is like Rennsport, but for street cars. Don’t forget, "It’s not just the cars, it’s the people!"

I’m sure you read the article in the February Panorama that has all the details. Here are some High Desert details: we will tour to Salt Lake in similar fashion as we did Rennsport last year, take two days to drive (leave Saturday the 7th), use back roads where we can, find a “quaint” Hotel/Motel along the route and have a good time!

The opening of on-line registration has been moved to March 27th. Don’t wait to long to register; I don’t want anyone to miss out. Sue and I have been to five Parades over the past years and have enjoyed every one of them. We are making our plans now and are looking forward to this year's event. We plan on going to all the Banquets, running the rally, driving the auto-X and doing a driving tour or two. Oh, we’ll also volunteer to work and find time to shop at the Goodie Store! Viewing the Concours d’Elegance on Monday will be worth the drive over. Don’t think I’ll enter, will you?

Come join us!
