LIABILITY RELEASE FORMS

A signed liability release form is required by UDOT and Centerville City, for EACH INDIVIDUAL marching or riding in the parade as part of your entry, regardless of age. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT. Please ensure you bring these forms with you the morning of the parade. City officials stop by each entry for pick up.

EQUESTRIAN ENTRIES

Please be sure to provide enough people and "pooper scoopers" to follow behind your entry.

By doing so, you will be courteous to those individuals marching behind your entry. Many equestrian entries in the past have dressed up those individuals as clowns (or something similar) and have made them part of their entry.

NOTE

This is a 2-mile parade route. We'd love those receiving candy at the end of the route to have just as much success filling their little candy bag as those at the beginning. Be aware of how much candy you throw and aim to be equitable. Additionally, please plan to carry water on your float for your participants, ensuring they remain hydrated during the parade.

ENTRY AWARDS

Awards will be given out at the de-staging area.

• Overall Best Float
• Pearl Award Float (most spirit)
