The 2004 Kick-off
Party
The 2004 Kick-off Party was a great event.
It was good to see old friends again, and it was
great to see so many new faces.
President Robert Kuczera
welcomed everyone, and introduced the members of the Board of
Directors, to begin the Parade's 27th year.

The
food was delicious, we thank everyone who contributed to the
buffet table.

After dinner, TFT Member Tony Rome and
the Wanderers took the stage, and got the VFW rocking.
Tony was
also accompanied by Parade regulars Artie Waner, George Gora, and
the peculiar Biker Bob for a few tunes.
It was a great way to
kick-off the new Parade season.

2004 Parade
Merchandise
All the exciting, new, 2004
Parade items are now in stock and available for purchase. The 2004
shirts and jackets, with a classic white-on-black design, are already
getting rave reviews. There is a large selection of TFT Parade
apparel to choose from, including T-shirts in short-sleeved,
long-sleeved, and pocketed styles, sweatshirts, tank-tops, and the very
popular TFT Parade Jacket.
The new TFT Parade Christmas Ornament is also
available. This year, the collectible orb will have a satin red
finish, with a white design of the Parade's Mascot, Biker Bear,
on his motorcycle, with the skyline of Chicago behind him. This
ornament is the second in a series of Chicago TFT Parade Ornaments, which
started last year with the beautiful white ornament of 2003.
Both ornaments are now for sale at only $10 each.
Our most popular Parade item, the 2004 Parade
Pin, is now in stock. Many riders proudly wear a collection of over
twenty Parade Pins on their jackets. For TFT Parade Pins, see Lovely
Linda the Pin Lady.
Other important promotions of The Parade are
the two big raffles that are about to begin. In our 2005 Harley
raffle, someone will win a 2005 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide this March,
and thanks to our friends at Oak Lawn Harley-Davidson, this beautiful bike
will include a second, custom TFT Parade decorated gas tank. Our
other raffle, the Black Hills Vacation Raffle, will award the lucky winner with
a great vacation package at the Black Hills Motorcycle Rally in
Sturgis, South Dakota, including motel reservations and spending money.
The winning ticket will be drawn at the big swap meet and
bike show held in February at McCormick Place.
All Parade Merchandise will be available for
purchase at the General Meetings held at the Stempien VFW. Some
Parade Merchandise is available at Oak Lawn Harley-Davidson To view all the new 2004 Parade items go to http://chicagolandtft.org/products.htm .
