handed or gently tossed into the crowd from the side of the street.
● NO HANDOUTS OR CANDY may be thrown from the entry or the center of the road to

longer than 50 feet or wider than a typical lane, and wants to have more vehicles or a longer
trailer, then they are required to purchase an additional entry.

parade if it determines that the entry is controversial, unlawful, political, or otherwise considered
