Hog Day Parade Entry
Dear Parade Participant:
It’s time to think about the Hog Festival Parade in Kewanee Labor Day Weekend. This year’s parade will take place Saturday, September 1st at 2:00 p.m.
The Hog Day 2012 theme selected by the Hog Festival committee is “Kewanee Hog Days . . . Chop Til You Drop!” We would like you to keep this in mind as you put your entry together. This year we will have the judging take place on the route just past the large Flag in the 200 block of East 2nd St.
It’s free and easy to enter, and we only ask a few small but enforceable rules.
- Please do not throw candy or other materials from moving vehicles, items must be handed out.
- No stopping along the parade route. Nobody likes gaps in the parade.
- Political entries will be limited to 1 party vehicle and 1 vehicle per candidate.
- All entries must follow the general theme of the parade; please decorate all entries in some way that promotes the theme or the Hog Capital Festival. A fleet vehicle will not be allowed unless decorated.
- Parade officials have the authority to remove entries from the parade line up at any time for behavior unbecoming of a parade entry or for not following parade rules.
Please complete the following entry form as soon as possible. We will contact you with your parade number and line up procedures, as we get closer to parade day. Deadline for parade entries will be 4:30 p.m. Monday, August 20th. Entries received after this date will not be guaranteed an official entry number. The parade is limited to 125 entries or the number of entries received before the deadline. It is best to reserve a spot early and fill the details in closer to parade day.
Thank You
