GENERAL RULES
1.
NOTHING CAN BE THROWN FROM THE FLOAT OR ENTRY INTO THE CROWD.
Throwing candy, gum, tokens, etc. from an entry is a violation of Humboldt City Ordinances and
violators may be cited and fined. Items may be handed to parade spectators by a representative of
your entry walking near the curb, but we must limit the number of walkers to two (2), one on each
side or at the rear of the float. Remember, walking beside or touching the float distracts from its
appearance and may be considered by the judges.
2.
Judges will determine the winners of the various categories of entries.
3.
Entry fee is $25.00 and if not paid in advance, your entry will not be permitted in the parade.
There will be a late fee of $25.00 after the April 20th deadline.

As completed registration forms are received by the Chamber, parade numbers will be assigned.

have an adult representative from your entry pick up these numbers. This booth will be open at
7:00 a.m. on Thursday morning of the parade. Be prepared to attach this number to your entry
in order to be judged.
YOUR ASSIGNED NUMBER DETERMINES YOUR PLACE IN LINE! NUMBERS WILL BE ASSIGNED
WHEN THE CHAMBER RECEIVES YOUR APPLICATION. THE SOONER YOUR APPLICATION IS
RECEIVED, THE CLOSER YOU WILL BE TO THE FRONT OF THE PARADE.
