More info here in case you want the details...
1. You will get your line-up number following at the end of today’s info meeting. If your entry is a group, please be certain that all members of the group have their position number and all the necessary details prior to parade day.
2. It is required that you display your line-up numbers on each side of your parade entry, so that announcers know what script to read (in case entries become out of order). You will get your line-up numbers at the end of the info meeting.
3. Children under the age of six years will not be permitted to ride on a parade entry unless accompanied by an adult.
4. Local ordinances do not permit the discharge of firearms within the boundaries of Fountain Hills. ALL GUNS DISPLAYED BY PARADE ENTRIES MUST BE EMPTY!
5. LOCAL SAFETY REGULATIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE THROWING OF ITEMS FROM MOVING ENTRIES. CANDY OR OTHER ITEMS MAY BE DISTRIBUTED BY PARADE WALKERS ONLY AT CURBSIDE ALONG THE PARADE ROUTE. SPECTATORS ARE CONFINED TO THE CURBSIDE OR MEDIAN.
6. Judging of ALL entries will be conducted during the Parade. Judges are located on the South Side of the Avenue of the Fountains near the intersection of the Avenue/Verde River. Do NOT stop in front of the judges.
7. NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE PERMITTED!
8. Staging will begin at 7:00 AM. It is advised to send one representative to staging early so the rest of your group can identify the location they need to be in. All parade participants must be in the staging area at 9:00 AM ready to go!
9. All entries MUST be accompanied by a 50 words or less Announcer’s Script that will be read on the Public Address System during the Parade. These announcer scripts are to be sent to betsy@fhchamber.com or tammy@fhchamber.com by November 22nd.
10. No Excessive Stopping/Performing for judges on parade route. When you take a 1 minute stop to perform for judges, it haults all of the entries behind you and creates a huge gap in the parade. If you want to stop for the judges, please keep it to 15 seconds maximum.
11. Any entry that does not comply with the rules and regulations as set by the parade Committee will not be allowed to participate in the Parade.
12. Please follow directions of Chamber staff, Town staff, and volunteers at the event.
13. There will be two porta-johns in the staging area: one near Phil’s Filling station, and one at the intersection of Verde River/Parkview.
14. Please keep all entries family friendly!
15. We ask you to relay all information from today’s meeting to the rest of your entry so that we are all on the same page for Thanksgiving morning.
