The Want-A-See
list is a continually growing list of people who would like to be able to see
the the Mummers on national
TV.
People from all over the United States, including Hawaii and other countries
such as Ireland, Germany and Japan, have expressed a great interest in the parade.
We have also heard from military personnel stationed at the U.S.
Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. When we contact the media, we make a point to
invite them to visit our list and read the comments.
Here are just a sample of the comments from Mum
Fans on the list:
I've tried for years to explain the Mummer's to my friends... a little Carni in
Brazil mixed with Mardi Gras with a circus atmosphere in Las Vegas!!! But until
they can view it on National TV they will just not get it!! The world
needs to know! And think of the publicity Philly will get! Tourists galore! Will
someone please send me a good cheese steak & some Tastykakes?!!......Lola,
Bellingham,Washington
I grew up in South Jersey watching the parade every New Years Day. Now that I am
in England I have no way of viewing the show, nor can I share this fabulous
tradition with my English family. It would be great if it was on National TV as
well as viewable from the Web.......Patricia,

Really miss not seeing the mummers parade on TV. I remember sitting on my
dads shoulders watching the parade and fond memories of marching down broad
street with the Avalon String Band in the late 70's with my cousin in South
Philly marching behind me!.........Frank, Orlando, Florida
