Pufferbilly Days Parade Policies:

All entries are subject to the approval of the parade committee with support from the Pufferbilly Days Steering Committee. Decisions are final.
The 2025 Pufferbilly Days theme is "Pufferbilly Days in Bloom!"

Marching Units - These entries are open to any unit marching on foot and can be something any creative group can form. The parade must be kept moving to not create large gaps along the route, SO a routine that keeps the group moving is necessary.

Company vehicles are not allowed in the parade unless they are pulling a float or are decorated with emphasis on the parade theme.

Floats - Judging scores will be decided by combining the scores from three areas: Creative use of theme - crowd appeal, use of new and innovative ideas Construction - quality of workmanship, use of materials Details - animation, overall creativity, amount of work involved.

Politicians - Please call Janet Schultz the Parade Coordinator at 515-230-0977 for our policy on political promotion.

Please note: For safety purposes, walkers are permitted to Distribute candy or novelty giveaways. Do NOT hand out brochures, coupons, or other paper items, as they are often left behind as litter. Groups whose handouts are found as litter after the parade will be banned from future parade participation.

The parade will be limited to 100 entries.

Animal units: Entrants with animal units are expected to clean up after their animals in the parade lineup area and throughout the parade route. Please bring your own pooper-scooper!
