  • What is the registration deadline?
Forms must be in our office no later than March 8th, 2010.
  • What time do we show up on March 14th?Registration begins at 11:00am.
While the parade does not begin until 2:00pm, you need to arrive no later than noon as they begin closing FM 1960 shortly thereafter.
  • Where do we check in? Where is registration?
To get to the check-in area, turn south on Champion Forest Dr. from FM 1960 (turn right if you’re coming from SH 249, turn left if you’re coming from IH-45).  After you turn on Champion Forest Dr, you’ll see a driveway on your right about 50 yards from FM 1960. Turn right into this driveway and you’ve arrived at the check-in area.
  • Where do we get our float number?
At check-in, you will be provided with your float number and directed to your designated set-up area where you will be parked prior to the parade.  Most people show up early and spend several hours decorating their float on-site.
  • Will there be restroom facilities available?
There will be port-o-cans at the staging area.
  •  Can our group enter the parade without a float? (can we walk?)
The parade is about 3miles long and we highly suggest that if you intend to walk you include a vehicle that participants can use to rest if necessary.
  • Where can we obtain beads or candy to throw during the parade?
We no longer sell beads or candy but most area party stores stock them (i.e. Arne’s Warehouse)
