The Homecoming parade will be Friday Oct 5th at 3:30pm. It will begin from the city park on 15th street and travel east on Main Street to 7th street. Line-up will begin at 2:30 at the City Park. You do not need to sign up to be in the parade. Vehicles must enter the park from the west entrance and exit at the east entrance. During the line-up, the road through the park will be ONE-WAY, for the safety of the children. NO vehicles will be allowed to enter the park from the east entrance.

When you get to the parade line-up please don't leave any float unattended until you have been told where to park. All vehicles and/or floats need to pull forward as far as they can in the line-up and park on the right side of the road. There is no specific order! It's first come, first in line, with the exception of the band and royalty who are always at the front. If you want to be next to a specific group then you need to arrive at the same time. It will NOT be possible to "save" a space for any group. Please be aware of this before you arrive. Vehicles not driving in the parade will need to park as far off to the left side of the park road as possible. Please decorate all vehicles/floats.

As always, no 4-wheelers, go-carts, motorcycles, etc. will be allowed. All drivers must be adults, NO current student, regardless of age, may drive a float/vehicle in the parade. Vehicles must also have a passenger to help monitor riders. Floats with Elementary children must have parents riding on the floats with the children.

No candy may be thrown from any vehicle or float, however, this year we will allow candy to be handed out by adults walking beside the float. Please follow this rule! Coaches/parents: please discuss with your children/players the importance of parade safety. The parade is a school sponsored activity so any misbehavior could result in disciplinary actions. For more information contact Missy DeLozier at mdelozier@collinsville.k12.ok.us If you have questions please use email to contact me. It is difficult to return phone calls during the school day. -- Missy DeLozier (9/10/2012)
