VERY IMPORTANT CHANGE!!!!!
IN AN EFFORT TO COOPERATE WITH CSX RAILROADS AND THE REMODEL OF THE COURTHOUSE WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO MINIMIZE OUR TIMES ON THE RAILROAD TRACK SO THE PARADE ROUTE WILL BE SLIGHTLY ALTERED. ALL MOTORIZED VEHICLES LINE UP AT COVENANT UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, 909 WEST JEFFERSON ST, LAGRANGE, KY. DO NOT LEAVE WALKERS THERE! IF YOUR FLOAT CAN’T HOLD ALL OF YOUR WALKERS THEN PICK THEM UP AT LAGRANGE ELEMENTARY SO THEY DON’T HAVE SO FAR TO WALK ESPECIALLY IN THE JULY HEAT!!!!!

ASSEMBLY LOCATIONS:
Authorized Units for Covenant United Methodist Church:
1. All Commercial and Non-Commercial Floats... Project Guild wants your unit to look like a float—not just an advertisement. Please incorporate the theme “Be Kind” into your unit.
2. All walkers accompanying floats or other motorized units need to wait for you at LaGrange Elementary unless your float is big enough to handle all your walkers to ride up to LaGrange Elementary where the parade actually begins.
3. All Motorized Vehicles - with this exception the Fire Trucks & Shriner Participants meet at different locations. The Shriners will park at the lot next to the elementary school. Fire trucks on 6th street and the tractors park at the United Methodist Church.
4. All Horses and Trailers – you must keep horses in the grassy area until the parade begins. Arrive with “pooper scoopers” to clean up your area.
Parking: Parking is limited only to units in the parade... we are asking groups to travel to the parade assembly area together. If a person must come separately, we ask that someone drop them off and pick them up later.
