This year's theme “A Journey through History, The Magnificent Meridian” has many decorating possibilities. We hope your journey through history can help you come up with a magnificent float! Use your imagination and be creative when planning and building your parade entry so we can give our parade lovers a Magnificent show! We expect you to decorate and the “More the Meridian-er.”   

Safety Note: Due to liability issues and for the safety of the children along the parade route, you can't throw candy or other items from your float nor can your walkers throw them. Your walkers may hand your items to viewers along the route. If you do throw items, you will be allowed to stay in the parade but your items will be taken.

Your parade packet; including staging location and time, parade route, and entry number will be e-mailed to you a couple weeks before the parade. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at 605-857-0184 (cell) or email to: wwayne@vyn.midco.net
