- Use the free two-hour parking at 7th and Willow or 9th and Cumberland, since downtown meters charge on Saturdays.
- Register your group well before parade day, because the committee doesn't accept registrations on the day of the parade.
- Entrants should plan to hand out treats from walkers, because nothing may be thrown from floats or vehicles.
- Dress warmly if you're watching from the curb, since the parade happens outdoors in late November.
