2014 HOMECOMING PARADE
Thank you for participating in the WSU 2014 Homecoming Parade on Saturday October 25 at 10:00am.
We are excited to have you participate! This will prove to be a creative and fun event with our theme of
WSU Warriors Are Out of This World!
Line-Up
Line-up will begin at 9am on Broadway west of Huff Street to Grand Street, including Harriet Street by
Windom Park. Your unit’s position number is indicated on the attached parade roster.
Parade Route
Start at Broadway and Huff Street; proceed to Mark (11th) Street; turn left. You may disperse from there.
Awards
Campus organization entries will be judged for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places based on their incorporation of the
Homecoming theme. The winners will receive cash prizes that will be transferred to their university
accounts.
Restrooms
There will be a port-a-potty available for use in Windom Park, on Broadway and Huff Street. Please be
respectful of our neighbors who live on the parade route and line-up areas and utilize the port-a-potty
we are providing.
Parade Regulations
1. All floats must have their group name clearly visible on the front or on both sides of the exhibit.
2. If you are passing things out from your parade float, please do not throw them at the crowd,
and make sure to get them far enough into the crowd so that people don’t crowd the streets to
get your items (candy, necklaces, etc.).
3. In accordance with Municipal laws, there is a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for alcohol during the
parade. There will be no alcoholic beverages allowed on any of the floats. Any representation of
alcohol, written or insinuated, is prohibited. Anyone found in violation of these codes will be
subject to removal from the parade and legal action by the police. The Winona Police
Department will be patrolling the parade route.
In case of inclement weather, the Homecoming Committee will decide at the parade site whether or not
to cancel the parade. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
And please plan to attend the WSU Tailgate Party in the WSU Courtyard from 11-1:30pm. Food is
available with the WSU Meal Plan or $5.00. There will be a photo booth, activities, music and prizes!
Thanks again for your participation in the 2014 Homecoming Parade!
