FLOAT OCCUPANCY

• Any children under the age if seventeen must be accompanied by an adult.

• No more than 15 people may occupy a float, depending on size.

• No jumping on and off while float is in motion.

• No standing in between the float and the vehicle.

• No feet hanging from the sides of the float for safety reasons.

FLOAT SPECIFICATIONS

• Parade floats are decorated flat trailers not exceeding 30 feet in length, 12 feet in width, and 13 feet in height from the street level. A tractor or street safe truck may pull them.

• Floats and trailers should be within 6 inches in height from the street level or skirted completely to within 6 inches of the ground.

• Floats with standing riders should have rails or sides no less than 3 feet high. Riders should be seated on floats without rails or sides.

• Never attempt to run in front of a float or reach under one in an effort to grab a bead or doubloon! No trinket is worth your life or a life-changing injury!

• Never run in front of or behind a float to simply cross the street. Wait until a natural "break" occurs in the parade to safely cross. And, always try and cross the street at a corner!

• NEVER grab on to a float. NEVER get close enough to a float that the crowd may push you either into it or under it!

• •NEVER throw trinkets or doubloons back toward a float or at any of the float riders. NEVER throw doubloons or trinkets from one side of the street to the next.

• • Be certain that deputies may be checking for drinking or any open containers that may cause problems along the parade route.
