GHOST TRAIN 2023 WON 1st PRIZE!!! I can’t stop smiling, and I’m on such a high. This is my 6th First Prize with Golden Sunrise NYA in this prestigious Handsome Costume Category.
My Theme came to life with many people making my dream come true this year. I’ve been marching in the Mummers Day Parade my entire life and marched in all 5 Divisions and each year becomes some thing more than the year before. Whether it’s the planning of the suit, the costume, the sketches, the theme the music mix with my Drack Pack Marshalls that always guide me, I’m always left the next day with a full heart. Our Mummers community is the bedrock of Broad Street, and I’m lucky to partake in the Parade with friends who have become Family, traditions which have been passed through Generations, but through everything still…New Year’s Day remains the same: My favorite day of the Year.
This Year’s Ghost Train Theme has a lot of history to it as u read the press release below. The Magic of making The Ghost Train come alive on New Year’s Day was possible because of many who climbed aboard (And put up with a lot of My Heiny Aching LOL ). Thank You to Delbuono Costumes Al and Yvonne, Scott Moyer, Russ Fama, Alana Savva, Monkeyboy, Brittany Rotondo, Glenn Smith, Cliff & Lori Depew, Sean McIntire, George, Dulcet Tone Lisa Melagrano, Flatbed Bill & Colleen Norcross. I could not have Won First Prize without all of these special people so Thank You and Thank You to all of My Great Fulltime Vampire Night Time Listeners who support My Mummers Addiction and Rock with me weeknights 7pm-12midnight!
Please support our Mummers Museum and stop in and take a picture with My 1st Prize Ghost Train on a mannequin in The Winners Circle… HAPPY NEW YEAR and can’t wait to Strut for you again in ‘24!!
