EVERYONE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN LABOR DAY PARADE

The Earl Park Fall Festival will hold a grand parade on Labor Day at 2:00 PM. The parade has proven to be very successful over past years making it one of the special highlights of the weekend and an enjoyment for people of all ages.

All parade entries must register from 10:00 AM until 1:00 PM at the corner of Fifth and Maple Streets in Earl Park on Labor Day. The registration times are firm and no entries will be accepted after the stated time. Line-up will begin promptly at 1:00 PM. There is no fee to place an entry into the parade.

Although several types of entries are accepted into the parade, not all entries are subject to judging and awards. First and second place ribbons will be given to entries in the following classes: Antique Auto, Antique Tractor, Floats, and Special Entry. There will be no judging or awards given for the following types of entry: Bands, Animals, Princesses, Queens, Shrine Units, or Horses and Buggies. The Earl Park Fall Festival Foundation makes donations to bands and Shrine units who participate in the parade.

Chairperson Niccole McGinnis is already hard at work trying to get some special features included in this year's grand parade. Questions may be directed to Niccole at (219) 474-3696.
