Entering the staging area from the west US 60 will point you in the right direction. South side of road will be Yellow Numbered Tags (single vehicle & small entries), North side of the road will be Orange numbered tags (Floats & Larger groups). After parade starts @ 1:00 PM you will need to maintain a slow and steady pace, avoid large gaps between entries ( to discourage children from crossing the street), Please do not throw candy or any other items from your float or vehicle instead hand out to parade watchers on sidewalks (to discourage kids from darting out in front of vehicles.
