(PLEASE double park and use full street width). For assistance, look for members of the Parade Committee or Fire Company to help you line up for the Parade in an orderly manner.
2) Your registration number must be worn on your left arm or the left side of your vehicle so our judges may easily identify you as you pass them at Center Square. Fasten your number securely for judging purposes! Remember, without a number — you can’t win a prize!
3) No alcoholic beverages are permitted in the staging area and/or the line of parade.
4) All entries and participants are expected to follow appropriate public conduct at all times during the parade. If in the opinion of a parade official a participant’s behavior becomes inappropriate, they will be instructed to leave the parade.

NOBODY should be on any roadway area of the parade route except PARADE participants.

8) All judged entries must have a Halloween theme. Walkers and float riders must be in costume and vehicle entries must be decorated.

Spread out as you approach the Judges’ Stand, in the Square, located on your left. Performances for the Judges may not exceed 2 minutes in time. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated and will allow our judges to fairly evaluate each contestant and select winners.
