Stampede Parade Stuff

2009 Stampede Parade- "Jungle" Theme

It's that time of year again, and boy is it a jungle out there! The stampede parade will run on Thurs. July 23rd and Friday July 24th with the decorating session being held at RSC Equipment (2230- 9th Ave. SW) on Wed. July 22nd from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Here are a few particulars:

• All participants are asked to dress in a jungle theme. Try any animal prints- dressing up as lions, tigers, monkeys, etc. Or go with the camoflauge theme, even grass skirts with shrunken heads (not real of course!). Be creative!!

• Participants in Thursday's parade will need to be down on 3rd Street in the Flats (usually between Ash and Birch Ave) no later then 7:45 am as this is when judging formally begins. Please keep in mind that the stampede marshalls do move our location from time to time, but we are always either on 3rd Street or 4th Streeet. If you are planning to stay awhile with your children, please be advised that parking is not available in this area.

• Participants in the Kiddie's Parade on Friday will need to be down on 3rd Street downtown ( just up from Dairy Queen) no later then 8:30 am.

• During the main parade on Thursday- there is no access to bathrooms!!!

• All participants will need sunscreen and a waterbottle.

• Please be advised that the truck and trailer unit that we are using from RSC this year is new. The truck has a tilt deck trailer attached. As a result, the trailer stands roughly 4 feet off the ground! THIS MEANS POSTIVELY NO MOVING AROUND ON THE FLOAT WHILE IT IS IN MOTION, AND THOSE KIDS WHO ARE ON THE STREET WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE FLOAT UNTIL THE VERY END OF THE PARADE.

• Due to metal grating on the trailer deck, we ask that everyone keep shoes on at all times.

Picking up your children will be as follows:

1. Main Parade: Please pick your child up at RSC Equipment (2230- 9th Ave SW) as soon as possible after the parade is over. This is usually 10:15 am (roughly).
2. Kiddies Parade: Please pick child up from Salta. We will be getting all of the kids to help with taking the decorations off the float.

Due to the height of the trailer deck, as well as the stampede discouraging stopping for great lengths of time at the end of the stampede, we request that all kids are picked up the drop off sites, NOT by exiting from the float while downtown.
