Thought you might like to see what fun you can have when you attend one of the many local parades in the St. Louis area! For your enjoyment (Who knows? you just may see someone here you know!) and pleasure, I present, The Clarkson Woods 4th of July Annual Parade!  Enjoy!

Joyce Yost! She did a super job and sounds like she had a great time doing it! Following is what Joyce had to say about the fun event.

"I agreed to participate to this commercial at the Cardinal Winter Warm Up. Nena and I had a Great Time and as we were leaving I was approached to participate. I thought, Ok, I am perfect for this since I don’t drink and have always been the designated driver. As you can see at the beginning I was trying to make sure I had lipstick on and of course they were filming!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did filming it."

Joyce Yost participated in the Responsibility Has Its Rewards promotion at the 2007 Cardinals Winter Warm-Up in St. Louis. We here at TEAM Coalition work hard to promote the importance of designating a driver, buckling up, and demonstrating responsible fan behavior. Now she, too, has helped the cause!
