We want to make our experience in the Jr. Parade fun, what can we do to incorporate the theme and get our group more involved in preparing for the day?

Be creative, "The Daffodil Storybook" is a great theme-there are hundreds of possibilities. Design a float using daffodils (of course) and toilet paper tubes, boxes, chicken wire, egg cartons, duct tape, balloons-the sky is the limit!

Incorporate ‘sound’ with kazoos, whistles, music, voice, and homemade drums!!

Where do I go on the day of the parade?

Registration begins at 9:00 AM at Mason Methodist Church. Only one person from your group needs to sign-in. You’ll receive your parade line-up number to carry, balloons and buttons for all the youth members of your group.

What is the parade route?

The parade begins at N. 28^th & Proctor, travels down Proctor and turns left on N. 26^th and continues down to the library.

Where can I park?

Parking is a problem the day of the parade. Pay attention to the traffic control people-they are there to help you and keep the children safe. You may drop off your children and floats in the drop-off area at the church. Please remember to have an adult accompany your group. PLEASE do not park in "No parking" areas-your car will be ticketed. Do not block private driveways. Please, please, please do not remove barricades and drive thru on those streets!! Again, you will be ticketed.

What do I do if my mom and dad get lost?

The Jr. Daffodil Committee enlists the help from Police, Police Explores, Boy Scouts, Pierce Co. Search & Rescue – they all are there to contact and reunite

"lost" parents & children. There is a designated area at the church for lost kids. Please discuss with your group and parents where your meeting place will be.
