***Parade Participants***
Set up & Departure
Parade line up will begin at 9:00am on Pink Sunset (Behind Southern Bank in Kimberling City) and will continue wrapping around the Harter House Parking Lot. 11798 State Highway 13, Kimberling City MO.
o Each person will line up as they arrive.
o The only spaces dedicated are the opening spaces for Color Guard, Grand Marshal and Dignitaries and the Reeds Spring High School Band who will start the line up on Pink Sunset. Floats will start to line up in the Harter House parking lot and the last space will be for Santa and Mrs. Clause.
o At line up you will be given a parade number to be placed in the passenger side window for judging. If your number is not on display your float/vehicle will not be included in the judging process. Make sure to write your business name, contact information, and float/vehicle theme on the back of your number so as we announce the winners, we know who you are.
o It is imperative that all vehicles are lined up and ready by 10AM. Parking space in the Harter House parking lot is available for extra vehicles.
Departure
o The event ends after all entries have parked at the parade end and the parade winners are announced. If you do need to leave earlier, please exercise caution as there will be many children and pedestrians in the area. We are estimating the parade and awards to be over by noon.
