2013 PA State Fireman's Parade Photo Location Info

[Guest]

Hello all,

 

I am one of two photographers that have been put in charge of the photography for this years Pennsylvania State Fireman's Parade in West Chester on September 28. As some of you may know the photo area's in the past years have been shut down by judges and such. This year it will not happen, the posed photography area will be in the registration lot at 931 South Matlack Street in West Chester. I ask that if you are coming to the parade and would like to get posed photos that you allow myself to pose the rigs and shoot quickly so we can keep everything moving along. The registration begins at 6:30AM and goes until 11PM. I hope to see you all there!

 

Regards,

Where is a good place to sit with my family along the route. Somewhere easy to get in and out and get some decent photos? I know I'm asking for a lot but this is my first time attending a PA State Fireman's Parade.

Is there a good area to park there, where we could possibly get out if we had to, or would we be pinned in there for the parade duration?  I'm looking forward to going, hopefully everything will work out that I can make it!!

There's parking in the UPS lot across the street and you can get out whenever

Dave,

 

My antique registration email response from the Fame says that antiques should report directly to their assigned staging location and bypass the judging area the day-of as they will be judged "in line".

 

If this is the case, a lot of the photographers will miss getting shots of the dozen or so antuques registered (?)

Yes that seems to be the case, I'm sure you are allowed to stop by registration before you go though!

Registration was cut off at 360 trucks. Should be a blow out.
