Parade is short, less than a mile.?? So hopefully not too rough??;)

??

Other than that, silly lights, holiday hats, etc are welcome!

??

Post-parade refreshments provided and a heated tent.????

Christmas themed parade, so holiday silliness is encouraged (Officers with a Santa Hat, light up Stormtroopers, etc!)

Dress warm, I'll have hand heaters to stuff down shoes and gloves, the usual fare.????

Would I be allowed to bring my wife as a handler, just to help me gear up? Just curious. If not it???s ok.

Certainly.?? Can she wrangle the whole parade? Extra people to walk with us and keep back any potential run-ins is always a HUGE help for parades :)
