Parade Rules:
For the safety of those watching and for our participants, please obey the following rules.
- All entries must be decorated to participate
- Participants who have floats or large entries must have people walking alongside. This is to help control kids who may run up to the entry/float.
- Animal entries must have a walker with a shovel and bucket at the end of the parade to help clean up after animals.

Lineup position will be determined by parade officials. More than half of participants request to be in the beginning of the parade; honoring all requests is simply not possible. Placement is determined based on parade mix such as music, vehicles, animals, live performance, similar float or exhibit, group size, mode of movement, etc.
**Any entries received after June 14th will automatically be placed at the end of the parade.
