Remembering Tom Mickle of Florida Citrus Sports
Just a small update, because on recent days, Florida Citrus Sports Executive Director Tom Mickle passed away at the Florida Citrus Sports office, while working on the organization's daily routines involving current projects and upcoming major events like The Capital One Bowl and The 26th Annual Orlando Citrus Parade.

Mickle was 55 at the time of his passing and he was battling some form of cancer, after a surgery was performed, late January 2006. Tom Mickle was supervising the operations of the Florida Citrus Bowl stadium and also was the co-founder of the Bowl Coalition (BCS) system that is used to decide which college football teams are selected to participate in the college bowls during the Holiday season.

Our toughts and condolences goes to his family and also to the people behind the Florida Citrus Sports organization.

Tough I never met Tom Mickle, while volunteering for the Citrus Parade event, I feel proud of his hard work for the Central Florida community. The only thing I found out, was that I did decorated the floats for the Florida Citrus Sports Organization and Tom Mickle was riding those floats with pride! He sure will be missed!

The Citrus Parade Orlando report 1-22-06
Now Playing: Waiting for the bandwith to lower more!
I have not made too much updates, since the end of the 25th Annual Orlando Citrus Parade. But, I'm waiting for the bandwith limits to lower a little bit. Since the last month's parade activity, the whole Citrus Parade in Orlando web site has gained more visitors. As much as 5000 visitors came on December 30th, 2005. The excessive number of visitors, almost shut down the site. I guess I will end up buying more bandwith, so that means that the site will have more space for thousands of visitors to come during the 26th Annual Orlando Citrus Parade, next December 2006.

In the upcoming weeks, there will be more additions to the Citrus Parade in Orlando web site. Also I believe that in February, the organizers of the Parade at Florida Citrus Sports, will be selecting the Marching Bands that will qualify for the 26th Annual Orlando Citrus Parade.

So, to recap, there is more to come, but I have to check on the bandwith space available, before I add more content to the site.

The Citrus Parade Orlando report 1-2-06
Pictures available and some corrections made.

I have made available a link to see all the pictures of the Annual Orlando Citrus Parade. I did provided a link to Yahoo Photos, because there are too many pictures to upload to the server, I decided to link them to the photo album I have at Yahoo.

Otherwise, the Tripod site would be shut down due to overload of the server, since they have a limit on the bandwidth I can use for the pictures. I may buy some bandwidth later, since the site broke the record for most visitors! Over 5,000 visits where recorded the week of the Parade Volunteering and the Parade event.

Usually I don't have time to read the visitors comments, but with the help of Frank, I found out that there was a picture of the Marching Bands, that I did identified as the Auburn University Marching Band, but, it was the Michigan University Marching Band, so I did corrected the mistake.

Another comment was from Paul, regarding the National Broadcast of The Orlando Citrus Parade. I really don't control the parade telecast and you have to address that to Florida Citrus Sports. I don't know if that was a bad waist of advertiser's money, but I do call it a promotional consideration. Those ads are kind of donated to Florida Citrus Sports.

The Citrus Parade Orlando report 12-28-05
Where done with the decorations! Let's have a PARADE!

3 days of volunteering for the Citrus Parade decorations and it is all worth of it! What a great opportunity I have of decorating for the 3rd year in a row, some of the 7 Citrus Floats that will march across Downtown Orlando this Friday.

I will be posting the pictures and some movie files that I did. So check back again.

If you live in the Orlando area, you may want to check the Float Parade. They are leaving the Convention Center early on the 29th (Means tomorrow morning!) and will go some 15 miles to Downtown Orlando and will stay for the night at the Citrus Bowl in Downtown Orlando. So, if you happen to drive by a major road in Orlando, you may see Shamu, the Sea World's Killer Whale, dress in Citrus! Will try to cover that for you!
