Mr. Sopchak's car that will be riding along with us in the parade- 1933 Plymouth Coupe Street Rod:
Additional TIPS/TRICKS:
Leave 1 car parked on Moore St. by the Apex Public Works building or Cornerstone Fellowship Church across HWY 55 where the parade ends during the day time on Saturday. .
Park at Thales, Church next to Thales, or Food Lion parking lot and walk over to Ambergate Station (Ambergate is where line up starts near Ample Storage 1136 Ambergate Station, Apex, NC 27502 )
Parade starts at 5pm but they will start closing & blocking off the roads at 4pm, so it's better to head out a few minutes prior to 4.
Dress according to the weather!!
Wear comfortable shoes as we will be walking down main street.
I suggest strollers/wagon for children 4yrs & under in case they get tired from walking, & bring a blanket to stay warm
Pack a small snack to have while waiting before the parade starts.
Go to the bathroom before you come. There may be a line for the bathroom located on the baseball field.
