For safety reasons, we are asking all volunteers to be present at the Saucon Valley High School Administration parking plot by 12 noon (prompt). From 12:30 to 1:50 p.m. participants may register and announce that their organization is ready for placement in the staging area. Your organization leader is to proceed to register your group at the administration parking lot when all participants are present. If you do not register your group, you will forfeit any prize winnings. 

Remember, this parade continues to grow. Volunteers are only following the rules deemed necessary for the safety of all. Please thank the volunteers for their help. We could not have a parade without their participation.

Again, as in years past, there will be volunteers collecting monies to offset costs needed to run a parade of this magnitude. Please be generous so the parade can continue to be an annual event.

Any questions can be emailed to david@heintzelmanfh.com, or call 610-838-0521.
