The parade starts at 10:00 a.m. sharp.  A parade director will stand in the middle of State & Seneca Springs directing the flow of entries on to the route.  You will have a volunteer in each group section helping you to line up and enter the route when its your turn. 

Car groups will enter the parade side by side in twos, and are limited to 40 cars per group

Due to the size of the crowd expected, parade participants are not permitted to throw candy or any other items from their floats, horses, or vehicles.  Any give-away items much be handed to, or tossed over the heads of spectators by walkers walking along side your entry.  Candy landing in the street is too tempting for small children to run into the pathway of a vehicle.  PARADE ENTRIES ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO SUPPLY CANDY

Entries are expected to be decorated in a patriotic or other manner appropriate for the celebration of the birth of our nation.
