Dear Parade Participant:
We want to thank you for your support for the Veterans and the men and women on active duty. Thank you also for participating in the Veteran’s Parade of the Quincy Area. Republican Party parade entry number is 31.
Please enter from 24th and Maine heading west. At 20th and Maine there will be Parade Marshals to guide you to your assigned place in the parade. We will start lining up at 8:15 AM and the Parade will start at 10:00 AM. Please be in your spot and ready to start at 9:15 AM if at all possible.
We will have two staging areas for those with trailers and buses. They will be at the Jr. High School parking lot at 12th and Maine and the lot behind the school board office at 14th and Maine.
**CANDY may ONLY be handed out by WALKERS! Absolutely NO throwing candy from any moving vehicles or trailers! Please only hand out candy between 12th & 5th Street.
We will once again have our afternoon parade at the Illinois Veterans Home starting at 1:00 PM for those resident veterans who are unable to attend the Maine Street Parade. We would like to invite all of you to join us there as well. Enclosed is a map of the Parade Route at the Veterans Home, which is subject to change due to construction. We will line up in the roadway behind Lake Illinois with the parade starting to the west of Lake Illinois.
Lunch will be provided for the parade participants going to the Veterans Home for the second parade. The Red Cross will serve a free bag lunch at Smith Hall (Ham & Cheese Sandwich, Chips, Dessert & Bottled Water or Coffee)
