Ravens Roost Council in Westminster Christmas Parade
November 28

RR 18 Glen Burnie, RR 65 Pasadena, and RR 88 Paradise joined together to build an electric float for the Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts. The float was seen by well over 7,000 people in the "Miracle on Main Street Holiday Lights Parade" in Westminster, MD. We led chants of "Let's Go Ravens!" all the way down the parade route and many, many Ravens Fans responded.

Here is Dan's description of the float entry:
The Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts is proud to present our first entry in the Westminster Holiday Light Parade. Our theme is "Roosts Spreading Holiday Cheer All Year Long!". The Council is made up of 55 individual Ravens Roost Fan Clubs in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware, and we attend the Ravens Training Camp every year at McDaniel College. We believe in camaraderie through football, fun, and involvement in our communities! Our charter is reflected in our float. The Ravens mascot Poe is shown riding a Tidal wave representing the Council's strong support of Special Olympics Maryland. Each year over 300 Roost members plunge in the freezing waters of the bay, raising over $100,000 at the Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge! The huge pile of presents represent the various charities and community projects supported by the individual Roosts all over our great State. The Council of Ravens Roosts wishes you all a Happy Holiday Season and sends along a very merry … GO RAVENS!!!

Many Thanks to Rob Keil, his sister Betsy and neice Sierra, Garry Mueller, and introducing Barb Mueller as the SOMD Polar Bear ! The Roosts and the Council as a whole were well represented and a great time was had by all!
