We are happy to announce a new privilege for all Coney Island, USA members -- you can now use an iPhone to vote and decide who gets the People's Prize at this year's Parade. Each member will get ten votes -- which you can use to vote any Parade participant up or down. The top three vote-getters will win awards. The competition is sure to be fierce, so vote wisely and feel free to solicit bribes. It's not the same as being an official Judge on the reviewing stand, but you can get in on this action CHEAP!! You can download the app from the iTunes store right now.

Members will receive a password for voting via email closer to the parade. And if you're not a member, now is the perfect time to join!! And VOTE!!
