Only One person from your group or organization needs to check in. The purpose of checking in is to get your participant number. Your participant number is the same as your placement number which will be located on Vernon Street written in chalk on Vernon Street between Sixth Street and Douglas BLVD. Please line up as far to the left as possible leaving the right side of the road open for other parade participants. The number on the ground represents the beginning of your staging position. Your staging area goes as far as the next number in the line up.
The Parade will start at 10am SHARP. Please have all your decorations up and your participants ready to go at 10am Sharp.
Please do NOT throw items such as candy or toys from your vehicles. Items may land in traffic and kids may run into the street to retrieve the items causing injury or death. Some individuals may not like having things thrown at them and may throw things back such as fists. It has happened in other parades.
Please stay close to the float or organization in front of you during the parade.
No more than 30 feet back but not closer than 10 feet.
If you have multiple vehicle entries, please drive through in a staggered formation.
Please do not stop in front of the judges.
