The Rotary Club of Alliston is once again proud to organize the Alliston Potato Festival Parade.

The Parade begins to form no later than 6:00 p.m. on Friday, August 10, 2007. The

procession will begin at 7:00 p.m. The Parade starts at Banting High School, proceeds west on

Victoria Street to Ontario Street, and then south on Ontario Street to Nelson Street. Large trucks,

machinery or floats that cannot make the turn onto Nelson Street will be directed southward to

Albert Street to exit the parade area. Smaller exhibits or walking participants may turn east and

continue to the Alliston Arena, as in past years. A police officer and members of the Alliston

Rotary Club will assist you at this intersection.

IMPORTANT – FOR SAFETY, OBJECTS MUST NOT BE THROWN BY

PARTICIPANTS ON YOUR FLOAT OR IN YOUR PROCESSION TO THE SPECTATORS.

Please remember that young children tend to dart in and out of the parade area. Any group

For the convenience of the judges and spectators, we ask that you display your name in a

prominent place on your float or in your procession.

1st, 2nd, and 3rd Prize Ribbons will be awarded in three categories: (1) Best Theme Float –

Non-Commercial; (2) Best Theme Float – Commercial; and (3) Best Children’s Entry. Cash

non-commercial (not-for-profit) entrants only. In designing your float/procession, you should

bear in mind that the judges will be looking for the theme of the parade; i.e., the Potato Festival!

Judging will take place in the parade formation area, starting at 6:15 p.m. If your float is not in

position at that time, it will not be judged. The decision of the judges will be final. Parade order

is determined by the Parade Committee and must not be altered.

There will be Parade Marshals in attendance to maintain order. The Marshals have the

authority to expel any entrant not following these guidelines.
