Children's Parade

Once again, kids 12 years of age or younger and their accompanying adults can join all the fun - characters in costume, small floats and walkers - in the Fifth Annual Rivers & Spires Children's Parade. The theme for this year's parade is "Games We Like to Play!"

Children and groups are encouraged to enter the Children's Parade theme contest. A group may be defined as a non-commercial organization, commercial organization, schools (public or private), daycares, neighborhoods, families, performing groups, etc. Entries will be judged on creativity and the parade theme. Special thanks to Five Star Radio Group, who once again is sponsoring the prize money for the best group, best individual and best float in this year's parade.
