Participating  can be as easy as putting a decorating a bicycle or a vehicle and just  riding along or can be a highly decorated float. It is a great way to  show your patriotism and get some free advertising for your business or  organization at the same time! We want the parade to be a fun, family  friendly event for all to enjoy and the more local groups that  participate, the better!
