Pre-Decorated Floats

Pre-Decorated Floats From Vendors Other Than Our Vendor Will NOT Be Accepted

We cannot accept entrants with commercially pre-decorated floats from vendors other than our own.  To ensure safety in the Parade staging area these floats are the first to enter because of their size and limited maneuverability.  By using one vendor we have a single point of accountability to ensure they are delivered on time.  The anticipated cooperation and support on this from our entrants will be greatly appreciated.

What You Get

The float will be delivered as seen in the photograph to the lineup position.  The float will arrive with a driver and vehicle to pull the float through the parade.  A sign to identify the sponsor is placed on both sides of the float. The sign will be neat and easily read from a distance.  Basic simple signs show best.  Company/Organization logos will NOT be reproduced.

How To Select a Float

When referring to a specific float, use the number on the side or bottom of the photograph.  Each photograph represents one float; there are no duplicates and no color changes.  Selection is on a first come, first serve basisPlease note, as floats are reserved, we remove them from this page as soon as possible to avoid duplicate selection:  what you see are the choices that remain.  During registration we ask you to provide your first and second choice.  We will do our best to accommodate your selection.
