Safety is an important issue.  Should you decide to participate, please keep in mind the following requirements.
  • All one ton trucks or larger and anything with trailers will be required to have walkers along both sides of the truck and trailer from the front bumper to the end of the trailer and at the rear, spaced every 8 feet.
  • A representative from the entry must pick up or print this safety sheet at least a week in advance and turn in a signed copy agreeing to follow the rules.
  • If candy is to be given out, it should be done by the walkers beside the vehicle to avoid the problem of candy being dropped too close to the moving vehicle, enticing children to run into the street and too close to the wheels of the moving vehicle.  Aim for the sidewalk.  This will prevent candy being hurled into the crowd like fastballs causing injuries.
  • Alcohol consumption is not permitted during the parade.
  • Regular DMV regulations must be followed. 
We anticipate the cost of the parade will be over $24,000.  To help meet some of these expenses, the entry fee is a minimum $100 donation, however the bigger the entry the higher the expected donation.  Those wishing to participate must notify the Parade Committee by March 5, in order to be included as we set up the parade order and line up locations.
​Please include the name of your contact person and a phone number.  To respond email kjbailey@verizon.net, or call Jack Bailey at home 781-878-7785.  Feel free to leave a message on the answering machine.
