=Well, the powers that be at Coney Island’s official website seem to be taking their sweet time posting the official results on the main Mermaid Parade page. But one of the moderators managed to get this onto their discussion boards, so I’m assuming these results are official. I’m going to repost them here, in case that helps get the word out. And because I’m so freakin excited that our group the “Brooklyn Bombshells” got FIRST PLACE in the Marching Group division. Woot!
From the Coney Island website Discussion Boards posted by David Gratt. Congratulations to all the winners, and kudos for all those who showed up and brought the mermaid-y spirit! What a wonderful year for the parade.
