HELP WANTED: Pooper Scoopers.

Yes…Pooper Scoopers.

For the big July 18th Waterland 50th Birthday Parade.

This job doesn’t pay, but man, talk about a glamorous gig, huh?

Besides volunteers and more participants, BJ and Anna Bjorneby announced at this week’s parade meeting that someone has entered a horse and buggy into the parade and they need two volunteers to follow the horse, and well scoop the poop.

Interested parties should scoop up the phone and call Anna at 206-575-5568.

That being said, let it be known that your intrepid parade committee needs other volunteers for less messy jobs, like check-in, cars and signage, VIP reception and others.

Still thinking of entering, but haven’t gotten around to it? Well, you have a few more weeks, as the deadline for entry has been extended. Although the earlier you enter the better your placement, they’ll accept applications until a few days before the parade.

Call Anna or Fran Woodward at 253-303-1098 to volunteer or enter.
