FAQ
Is there a fee to enter the Parade?
No, but all entrants must fill out a"Parade Entry Form"
Can we throw candy from our float?
No. Handouts & candy are allowed, but they MUST be handed out to prevent kids (and adults) from running in the parade path. We have to remember that a parade is exciting for all, but safety must come first.
Do we have to follow the Parade Theme to participate?
Yes, the expectation is that floats be clean and decorated, and follow the parade theme for parade viewers enjoyment. Parade entries should bring value to the audience and therefore need to be of quality, be family friendly, entertaining, and must carry a message of goodwill.

Equines or animals (horses, buffalo, antelope, pelicans or dogs) are allowed with proper paperwork and insurance.

Yes. 14 feet from ground level due to power & telephone lines on the route
