King Mango Strut is a go -- finally

The Strutters are getting ready for this year's King Mango Strut, which will happen Sunday, December 27, 2009.

Now is the time to prepare your marching units at 2 pm, on the last Sunday of the year, thousands will be ready to experience one of the Grove's best signature events.

The Mangoheads met last night at Greenstreet to discuss this year's event. Earlier in the day, the BID handed over $15,000 to help defray the costs of this year's strut and another $15,000 held back from last year.

This year's theme is "Public Options Rule."
