Cars drop offs will not be allowed into the parking lot area. We need to keep congestion to a minimum for safety reasons, this will also expedite parade line-up.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please keep your litter to a minimum and dispose of your float decorations following the parade.
Please keep the parade tight, but maintain a safe distance behind the entry in front of you. Gaps create unsafe situations with people trying to cross through the parade.
NO parade entry can stop the parade to do a routine – (ie. dancers, cars, ATVs)
When this happens gaps develop – the parade slows down and is unsafe.
MUSIC Please choose PG versions of songs. This is a family event and we will not allow any foul language.
Large Equipment and tractors must have a person walking on both sides to prevent accidents with children.
