By submitting this form, I am not only agreeing to rules and regulations but I am also acknowledging the designated line-up time and that if I am not lined-up within the time frame, then I may not be with the correct division and therefore may not be judged.
1. NO CANDY OR ANY OTHER FORM OF HANDOUTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO BE HANDED OUT FROM ANY PARADE PARTICIPANTS WHO ARE RIDING IN A FLOAT, CART, BICYCLE OR ANY MOTORIZED VEHICLE.
