Kelley's Heroes

Kelley's Heroes is a marching/concert band from Caledonia, New York, and they are Caledonia's premier marching and concert band. The band is named after their founder, the late Tim Kelley, who has lived in the village of Caledonia his whole live and always had a passion for music. Their name is also a play on words with the title of the 1970 film, Kelly's Heroes, only with Tim Kelley's last name in the title.

## History With The Parade

Kelley's Heroes made their parade debut in 1992. They were originally not going to be in the parade, but then one of the bands that was planned to be in it backed out and the parade needed a band to fill in for them, so they called on Kelley's Heroes as a last minute addition. So they headed to Toronto and marched down the streets, and they were all decked out in festive outfits. They were very popular amongst the crowd and they loved being in the parade so they would keep coming back every year. They were last seen in the parade in 2019 and didn't appear in 2020 because of the border closures, even though they still wanted to. The band has been thinking about returning to the parade sometime in the future, and they were considering coming back to Toronto in 2022, but they couldn't make it because not enough members were interested.

## Trivia

* Kelley's Heroes have made a total of 28 appearances in the parade's history.
* Of those 28 appearances, four members marched with the band in every appearance.
Mark of Death

The **Mark of Death** was a thirteenth dragonmark that is believed to be extinct. Originally appearing amongst the Vol family of elves in Aerenal, all bearers of the mark and the family line were wiped out by an alliance of the Aerenal elves and the dragons over 2500 years ago.

## History

Along with the Mark of Shadow, the Mark of Death appeared on elves on the island of Aerenal around 3200 years ago. While the Mark of Shadow appeared among multiple different elf families, most notably the Phiarlan line, the Mark of Death only appeared to the line of Vol. Along with the Mark of Hospitality, these were the first dragonmarks to appear, an event that drew interest and concern from the dragons because of their connection to the Draconic Prophecy.
The Vol elves were practitioners of necromancy, even before becoming bearers of the Mark of Death. This practice created tensions with the other elves on Aerenal. Around 2600 years ago, the Undying Court of Aerenal discovered that the line of Vol was engaging in secret blood rituals with dragons to produce half-dragons bearing the Mark of Death. The goal of the Vol line seemed to be to create a half-dragon bearing a mark so powerful they could become an avatar of death. In an unprecedented alliance, the Undying Court and the dragons of Argonnessen united to exterminate the line of Vol in a brief and brutal civil war. Every member of the line of Vol, including the half-dragon Erandis Vol and all bearers of the Mark of Death, were killed.

Mark of Warding

The **Mark of Warding** is a dragonmark that bestows powers used to protect people, places, and things from all manner of damage or harm, with a focus on guarding locations and items from would-be thieves.

## Usage

House Kundarak and its dwarf members possess the Mark of Warding, guarding not only their own belongings but also those of anyone who wants to be sure their possessions do not fall into others' hands. The Kundarak dwarves are careful businessmen but are also well known for their honor; if something is left in the care of House Kundarak, it stays safe. The Warding Guild also offers its services in security, keeping businesses and personal homes safe from unwanted intruders. Unmarked members often obtain jobs as trapmakers, security consultation, and more commonly with running the massive Kundarak bank.

Eberron Campaign Setting

**Eberron Campaign Setting** was the first book created for the Eberron setting and uses the 3.5 edition rules of Dungeons & Dragons. The book was released in 2004 and is essential for playing an Eberron game. The book details Eberron lore and is accompanied by statistics for new items and NPCs.

*Grab your pack and leap into the action-packed, intrigue-laced world of cinematic adventure. Within the **Eberron Campaign Setting**, you'll discover a vast, richly detailed world infused with magic, and waiting to be filled with daring escapades and dangerous exploits. Throw open the cover - and be ready for anything.*

## Summary

In 2004, **The Eberron Campaign Setting** introduced D&D fans to Keith Baker's brainchild, the world of Eberron. Eberron is a campaign setting different from previous campaign settings such as The Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk and Dragonlance in that the fundamental structure of the world was different than typical fantasy, yet still held to some of the traditional fantasy elements. Eberron has been described as a gritty pulp noir taking its inspiration from Hollywood classics like *Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom*, *Pirates of the Caribbean* and *The Mummy* among others.

The Eberron campaign setting is also unique in that it is the result of a contest held by Wizards of the Coast to find a new campaign setting. It, among 10,000 other entries, won the hearts of the Wizards staff and thus was produced into an official campaign.

The book contains an overview of the world of Eberron introducing us to four new races, Warforged, Kalashtar, Shifter, and Changelings as well as updates older races for the world of Eberron. It also introduces the new class artificer as well as updating the classic classes for the world of Eberron. It gives a brief overview of the many nations and realms of Khorvaire and briefly glosses over other continents like Xen'drik, Sarlona, Argonnessen, and Aerenal. It shows us a few new monsters specific to Eberron, the planes structure, magic, and wraps up with a short first level adventure titled *The Forgotten Forge*.

## 7/29/21 Controversy

(Note: Some claims may not be accurate as most of the events in here took place in a now deleted channel. All info given here would've came from the new No Mic channel and the message logs.)

On 7/29/21, much drama was going on in the No Mic channel, with most of it surrounding the drama within Cat Kirby and Lindoso's relationship. Most people were accusing Lindoso of using CK to get owner privileges, only to abuse them (e.g Lindoso banning Fourie because "she was annoying"). At about 1 PM EST, Lindoso deleted the entire channel in response. This drama resulted in Lindoso's demotion and the creation of the Staff Blacklist role.

## 9/6/21 Controversy

(Note: Some claims may not be accurate as most of the relevant messages have been purged.)

On September 6th 2021 at around 18:40 GMT, due to ongoing drama around the same time, 2 members were invited to the server, namely SamJoex and Elite Four Elijah, due to their history as reputable moderators in other servers, and quickly promoted. Former staff member Kobster, who was firmly opposed to the idea, left the server in response. Other people soon followed, and some were banned due to their involvement in the drama or past controversies.

Royal Ontario Museum

The Royal Ontario Museum is a museum located in Toronto. It is one of the largest museums in North America and is an art, world culture and natural history.

## History With The Parade

The Royal Ontario Museum's history with the Santa Claus Parade dates back to the mid-1990s, with a replica of a Parasaurolophus. In 2011, a Pachycephhlosaurus, Stegosaurus and Wooly Mammoth were added. These floats appeared in the parade until 2012. In 2013, the floats were combined and became a float altogether. The Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus and Pachycephhlosaurus returned with repaints. The Wooly Mammoth was the only one absent. This version of the float appeared until 2017.

In 2018, the float was transformed into a snowy float with animals from the ice age. This time, the Wooly Mammoth returned, and it was joined by a Sabre-Toothed Cat, which was actually a repainted and resculpted version of the cheetah from the Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle float, and the trees on this float were recycled from The Good Dinosaur float. The float made its last appearance in 2019, and the following year it was recycled into the Countdown To Christmas 50/50 Raffle float. Despite this, the Sabre-Toothed Cat is still on display in the secret workshop.
Toronto Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays are a professional baseball team from Toronto. The team was formed in 1977 as the second Canadian team in Major League Baseball following the Montreal Expos (Now the Washington Nationals), who predated them by nine years. From their inaugural season to 1988, the Blue Jays' home stadium was Exhibition Stadium. In 1989, they moved to the SkyDome, now known as the Rogers Centre.

The Blue Jays won their first World Series championship in 1992, and they won a second time the following year. The Blue Jays' current roster includes first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., shortstop Bo Bichete, pitcher Alek Manoah, catcher Alejandro Kirk, and right fielder George Springer alongside many others. Some of the greatest baseball players to play for the Blue Jays include Dave Stieb, Roy Halladay, Jose Bautista and Tony Fernandez.

## History with the Parade

The Toronto Blue Jays first appeared as a sponsor in the 1992 parade. They sponsored the Birds of Winter float. They would sponsor a couple more floats throughout the 1990's, and they wouldn't be represented again until the 2010's.

Throughout the early 2010's, the Blue Jays' mascot, Ace, appeared as a greeter, walking down the parade route, saying hi to the many Blue Jays fans lining the streets.

In 2015, the Blue Jays would finally get a new float in celebration of their amazing 2015 season, which included them becoming the American League East Division Champions. Ace rode on the float, leading the crowd in "O.K. Blue Jays", with three bats and a baseball behind him, but Ace wasn't the only Blue Jay on the float, as former Blue Jays Dalton Pompey and Liam Hendricks hitched a ride on the float as well. This was the last time the Blue Jays have been represented in the parade, although the teams owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment are still represented in the parade today.

During the float's debut, the swans were a basic white. This float was very popular with girls and they all wanted to see it again, so that's what the Parade team did throughout the next few years as their partnership with Swarovski continued.

In 2012, the float returned, and this time, the swans became a clear metallic crystal grey. This float was still popular. All the little girls loved the float, so they would bring it back again for the next two years in 2013 and 2014. The 2014 parade was the float's appearance as their partnership with Swarovski ended, but the float still had a legacy during its appearance in the early-to-mid-2010s.

Keeper

He is seen as the hunger in the dark, grabbing hold of anyone straying too far from the light. He alone is able to waylay dead souls on their way to Dolurrh and it is said that once in the Keeper's clutches a soul may never escape. Because of his association with souls and the afterlife he has become almost the default deity of necromancers across Eberron.

Happy Feet

Happy Feet is a 2006 animated jukebox musical comedy film distributed by Warner Bros., produced by Village Roadshow Pictures and directed by George Miller. The film's story revolves around a young Emperor Penguin chick named Mumble, voiced by Elijah Wood, who differs from the other penguins living in the South Pole. Although every other penguin can sing, Mumble isn't the best at it, feeling like he doesn't belong. But then he realized that he was born with a gift of a different kind, and that gift is to tap dance, which our hero is a natural at.

The first film was released in 2006, and in addition to Elijah Wood, the film also features the voices of Robin Williams, Brittany Murphy, Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. The film was enjoyed by families and won the Oscar for best animated feature in 2007.

A sequel film was released in 2011, with much of the original voice cast reprising their roles. In this film, Mumble is now called the Master of Tap, but then he finds out that his son Erik is reluctant to dance. Erik runs away and meets a puffin (Or in his eyes, a flying penguin) named the Mighty Sven, voiced by Hank Azaria. Mumble is jealous of Erik's new role model

## History with the Parade

Because the Parade had a strong connection with Warner Bros. in the 2000's, they got to work on a float to promote the original film. The star was a giant rotating Mumble tap dancing his heart out, surrounded by other singing and dancing penguins. The float was retired after 2006, and a majority of the penguin sculpts were reused on the Penguin Jazz Band float.

In 2011, a float was made to promote the film's sequel, which featured new sculpts of dancing penguin chicks, and Mumble and Erik were also riding on the float in walk-around form. This was the last time the franchise was represented in the parade it is unlikely it will ever be represented in the parade again in any shape or form.

## History with the Parade

In 2001, the Santa Claus Parade wanted to add some Halloween frights to the jolly and cheerful nature of the parade.

Her float, sponsored by the Canadian Tire Corporation, featured her in her cottage along with many elves, filled with many trees and other decorations. This float was recycled from Toys"R"Us' Santa's Workshop float that appeared from the late 1990's to 2010. Mrs. Claus was so popular, she would come back every year, always on the last float before her husband's.

The original version of her float would continue to be used in the parade until 2015. The following year, Mrs. Claus' float would get an upgrade. This time, The cottage was repainted from brown to white and light blue. The roof was also repainted from green to red. This version of the float lasted longer than her previous float, making seven appearances in total.

The Frozen Sea

The Frozen Sea was a float from the Santa Claus Parade.

## History with the Parade

In 1967, one of the many self-propelled floats used in that year's parade was The Frozen Sea, which was comprised of two floats in one. The first float was a self-propelled icy-bluish white walrus, which was where the driver was hidden. Her head turned and her flippers moved as if she was really walking, and her eyes were detailed with sparkly greenish blue eyelashes. She was named "Gus" by the clown, but in reality she was most likely nameless. Behind her was a whale with a moving mouth and fins, along with a polar bear standing up on his hind legs. Behind them was a giant iceberg, which kids in winter coats sat on. It was supposedly a tunnel, which people could walk through. This was one of the most spectacular floats from 1967's parade.

## History With The Parade

Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup is a float from the Santa Claus Parade.

## History with the Parade

This float, which debuted in the 2005 parade, is exactly what it sounds like; a chicken taking a bath in a bowl of soup with noodles. coming out from the sides of the bowl. This float showed the sense of humour of the parade's float designers, and it made only one appearance in the parade.
Clifford The Big Red Dog

Clifford the Big Red Dog is the titular character and the main protagonist of the children's book series of the same name, written by the late Norman Bridwell and originally published in 1963, and the television series, which is based upon it and ran from 2000 to 2003 on PBS Kids. He is one of the world's most recognizable storybook characters and the official mascot of Scholastic.

In the beginning, Clifford was adopted by his pet owner, 6-year-old Emily Elizabeth, when he was a very small puppy, no bigger than any other. But when Clifford grew up two years later, with a love of Emily Elizabeth, he became a giant-sized dog. This caused Emily's family to move to a much larger area where Clifford could have plenty of room.

## History with the Parade

Clifford the Big Red Dog made his debut in 2004 in the form of a self-propelled float. Clifford is the float, with his owner Emily Elizabeth and his pals T-Bone and Cleo riding on his back. Clifford was a big hit with the kids, and this float would appear for two more years before retiring following the 2006 parade.

Because of Clifford's popularity, the parade team partnered with Scholastic to design a brand-new float for our favourite big red dog. Rather that being the float, Clifford was riding on the float. This brand-new Clifford is now smaller, and in the same position as the last float too. This time, Clifford is in a winter scene, playing in the snow with Emily Elizabeth, T-Bone and Cleo. Clifford now has warm light blue earmuffs helping him gear up for the winter season. His eyes could also move as if he is looking at the spectators. This float was just as popular as its predecessor, and it would also make three appearances, retiring after 2009.

In total, Clifford has made six appearances in the parade's history, showing how popular Clifford was with spectators throughout the 2000's, showing that Scholastic and the parade's float designers make a great team when successfully bringing the Clifford the Big Red Dog to life as he travelled down the streets of Toronto.
