Let’s represent our small town and the pride we all share in living here. Were you once a Roughrider State Champion? Were you in the marching/jazz/concert band? Do you have some farm animals you want to parade through town? If the answer is yes, we would love to have you join the parade this year and represent our fantastic little town. 

For safety purposes of participants and onlookers, please adhere to the following:

· All candy should be tossed "underhanded" to the side of the street.

· Youths on three-wheelers, dirt bikes, scooters, golf carts, motorcycles, ATV's, etc. must be accompanied by an adult. Absolutely no speeding or "popping wheelies" will be tolerated.

· If you walk with a vehicle, you may stop but the vehicle must continue to move.

· PLEASE DO NOT LITTER. DISCARD ALL TRASH IN A PROPER PLACE OR TAKE IT
WITH YOU FOR DISPOSAL LATER.

NEW THIS YEAR: You can pick up a registration form when you arrive and fill it out on the day of the parade or you can file out and print your entry form and mail to: Amy Salyer 312 Haymarket Road West Jefferson, OH 43162. If you mail your entry form in, we will bring it with us when we arrive at the parade. Either way, we will ensure you are registered. 

Email questions to amyjoliving44@icloud.com. 

Line up according to group on the registration form. When you report to the registration area, you will be given a number to place on your entry that corresponds to the number on your Announcer Sheet. That number must be visible by our "spotters." If your entry is a vehicle, please place the number on the driver's sideof the windshield. Other entries should place the number on the front of their entry, if possible. Bring tape or some other means of attaching the number to your entry.

THE PARADE ROUTE IS US 40 (Main Street) to Center and will proceed through the Community Center area and turn right onto Cemetery Road. VFW may still turn at the gazebo, American Legion may go straight, and any others who must proceed on 40 may do so. Queens may get off their floats at the shelter house and walk to the stage from there.

Thank you for your assistance and patience in helping make the Ox Roast Parade a safe and enjoyable event. If you have any questions, please contact Amy Salyer at amyjoliving44@icloud.com.

Sincerely,

Ox Roast Parade Committee
