Dear Participants:

Thank you one and all for attending the 33^rd Annual Spryfield Santa Claus Parade.  The longest running Santa Claus Parade around. The success of this community and family oriented event is due to your support.  Following are a couple of reminders and notes for you and your organization.

1) Parade judges will be wandering through the assembly (marshaling) area and will also be located in the area of Sobeys (the presenting sponsor for the parade) on Herring Cove Rd.

2) Please remember no throwing of candy or other objects to spectators from vehicles.  You are however welcome to go to the parade sidelines and hand out candy or other objects.

3) Please try to continue on the parade route at an even pace.  Not too fast -- not too slow, just the right speed for the parade watchers to enjoy.  Please do not allow large gaps to form between yourself and the group in front or behind you.  Marching/cheerleading groups in particular are to keep this in mind – This is a number one (#1) complaint from spectators.

4) Due to the fact that this is a Santa Claus Parade and that Santa Claus is on the last entry – we would ask that there be no other Santa Claus’ in the remainder of the parade.

5) We have the use of the out bound lane of Herring Cove Road from Punch Bowl Drive to Old Sambro Road (Fire Station) from there we have two (2) out bound lanes to Dentith Road and into South Centre Mall.

6) Please park floats in front of the South Centre Mall - where parade staff direct your entry .  (Secure all valuables and/or leave someone with your entry)

7) Awards will be presented in front of the Malls main doors.  We encourage all parade participants to attend the ceremony.  Show us your group and community spirit.

8) The most important -- last but not least.

This is a community event for one and all.  Remember those big smiles and have fun!!!
