• Registration helps us plan on number of parade entries and there is no fee unless you are running for an elected office.  If you are in an election for office, we will be looking for a minimum donation of $100 as a contribution  to the community to help pay for the firework display.   That's exposure to thousands of parade goers and you get to help pay for the fireworks!
