You may choose a holiday theme or any crazy, zany, fun idea that you think will win one of 3 cash/gift certificate prizes totaling more than $350! Putting together your "float" is a fun family project and stimulates everyone’s imagination. Watching the parade is a real treat, so bring your camera!

Prior years’ contests have seen floats decorated like: the Red Baron airplane, a pirate ship, Noah’s Ark, Santa’s sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer, a choo-choo train, fishing boat, an outhouse, dog house and more. And as an added feature to the parade golf, cart owners are also invited to decorate and enter the contest! A separate prize is awarded to the best-decorated cart!
