JOIN SVTC MEMBERS BICYCLING IN THE STEEL VALLEY CHRISTMAS PARADE SATURDAY West Homestead Municipal Building, 456 West 8th Avenue. 11:00 a.m. Join us to show support for the Steel Valley Trail Council by bicycling in the Steel Valley Christmas Parade Saturday. Though the parade doesn't start until noon the organizers request that we are there at 11:00 am to form up the units. The parade will proceed along 8th Ave. 1 mile eastward to the parking lot of the former Shop & Save at 599 William Marks Way, just behind the Bost Bldg. To avoid heavy traffic congestion, those driving to Homestead may elect to meet in the Waterfront parking lot just west of Macy’s closest to the railroad tracks. We will leave the parking lot at 10:45 am and bike the Avenues to the staging area. After the parade, we will bike back a short distance on 8th Avenue and take the Avenues back to the Waterfront. As we will be bikingpast the Blue Dust restaurant, it may be a good opportunity to grab a stimulating hot beverage to warm up. Be aware that there is a very good chance of rain so dress accordingly.
