Float Judging begins at 2 p.m. and the Parade begins 3 p.m.

A Parade from the Past. Our theme stems from our wonderful heritage. Please decorate in any historic fashion you desire, i.e., railroad history, historic era you desire, history of baseball, history of music, etc.

The theme “A parade from the Past” will be a permanent theme that we use year after year so that people can build on their floats and make them better each year, rather than having to start over each year.
