There will be NO throwing of candy allowed. If you have people walking with your float, they may hand it out but absolutely NO THROWING candy. We are a nighttime parade and visibility is an issue. We want to keep our children safe. If caught throwing candy you will not be allowed to participate in future parades.
ENTRY FEE: None, but entrants are asked to bring at least 6 canned goods or non-perishable foods for our local food pantry with you when you check in on December 13th.
