Since the parade is broadcast live on KASO/KBEF Radio, all entrants must supply their own signage for their float/entry. Banners and signs should be neat and easily recognized. Six-to- eight-inch lettering is recommended. Basic, simple signs show best. The judging of the floats will take place as you pass in front of the Minden Civic Center.

Any float with children must have one adult for each five children.
