Line-up at 4:30pm at the high school parking lot. The route goes along Main street and ends on Spencer Road near the ball field. All ages are welcome. It’s not a drop off style so parents will need to be with their kids the whole route.
Kids can walk, bike, or wagons/strollers can be used. Small floats can be made but must be pulled by a small engine like ATV or riding mower. Small gifts are given at the end of parade so pre-registration is required by calling (607) 768-2042. Those without kids or grandkids are encouraged to come line Main Street and wave to the kids because they love a crowd too.
