Holmen Kornfest Parade Rules, Procedures and Fees For 2013

·We are charging fees again this year.  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

·We are limiting our entries to 140 again this year.  This will hopefully make for a shorter and higher quality parade.  The Kornfest Parade Committee has the final say on all applications.  Past participation in the parade does not ensure future participation. 

·We are setting a deadline of August 12th for all applications.  We will not be taking entries up to the start of the parade.  Late applications will be returned.

·All applications must be completely filled out and accompanied by the appropriate Registration Fee

·Applications missing information or the accompanying fee will be returned.  If it is humanly possible we will call to get missing information.  Please check it twice before you send it, this is not a guarantee.

·We are limiting mailings.  Look for applications on our website www.holmenlions.org, area newspapers or pick one up at the Holmen Edward Jones office at 106 S. Holmen Drive.  Your parade lineup number and parade day instructions will be posted on our website and published in the Holmen Courier on August 16^th.      

·We will not be accepting changes in the lineup after the application deadline unless we have made an error.  The Parade Committee will decide the order of appearance for all units.  Additional information regarding special circumstances will be entertained, but this is no guarantee we will make a change.   

·You can put as many horses and other animals as you like into the parade, but you must have your own manure cleanup.  This includes cleanup for the staging area, the parade route and the dispersal area.  Be prepared to answer several questions regarding cleanup before your application is accepted.

·We love candy.  We love children.  But do not throw candy or items from moving vehicles.  Children and moving vehicles do not mix.  You may disperse all the candy and promotional items you can carry, but you must have people walking the parade route to do so.
