An information desk will be located in the forming area and will be staffed by our parade officials. Please check in at the information desk first for directions to the appropriate Division Captain for placement and line-up position.
Please remember, for trophies, YOU WILL BE JUDGED ONLY AT THE REVIEWING STAND.
We request that with your entry, you enclose a short synopsis about your group or entry. This will permit our parade announcer to properly recognize your group at the reviewing stand. Due to time constraints limiting the progress of the parade, we ask you keep your announcement and any special routines you would like to perform for the judges under 20 seconds.
Awards will be presented at VFW Post 4647, 3300 “U” Street, Antelope CA, as soon as possible following the completion of the parade.
EQUESTRIAN: New this year – SHA judging (as applicable) will only be accomplished at the assembly area. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies in the one Equestrian category will be determined by Parade Judges at the Reviewing Stand.
ATTENTION MOTOR VEHICLES – Do Not Violate California Vehicle Codes. No dangerous stunts are allowed. Safety of our spectators is our foremost concern.
FOR EVERYONE’S SAFETY – Do not throw souvenirs or candy from vehicles. You may walk and hand out candy or souvenirs if
you wish…just think safety when you do. Thank you for your cooperation!!
DO NOT FORGET – The Family Community Church will offer a Pancake Breakfast from 8 AM to 10 AM (Donations Accepted!!).
For entrants and viewers there will be hot dogs, sodas, and beer (plus a nohost bar, of course) available at VFW Post 4647 following the Parade.
