Guidelines
SORRY, NO PETS ALLOWED!
The parade is a community event designed to be fun for participants and spectator alike. To assure there are no accidents or injuries we ask the following of all our participants.
• Vehicles are not permitted to follow units in the parade without the pre-approval of the parade coordinators. Approval may be requested for only one vehicle per unit.
• Distribution of candy is permitted under the agreement that: ALL CANDY MUST BE DISTRIBUTED CURBSIDE BY WALKERS ONLY.
• Refrain from the use of paper handouts along the parade route. Most of the paper winds up on the streets and in yards.
• Please use caution when operating motored vehicles. Units with children should have a sufficient member of adult supervisors walking along side the entry. Walking safety spotters (adults) must accompany large vehicles and be positioned at the corners and sides of vehicles to alert the driver of any small children approaching the vehicle.hen operating motored vehicles.

• Any violators of the rules will be ejected immediately from the parade and barred from future participation.
• There will be no solicitations without prior request from the Parade Committee.
