****Quakertown Halloween Parade Newsletter****

Sunday Afternoon, October 22nd     

Rain date: October 29th    

Parade Theme: “LATIN SIZZLE”

The monthly newsletter will be emailed to each student starting in November.  Please be sure we have your current email address so you will receive important information regarding the studio.  

Marchers will meet at 1:15 p.m., riders will meet at 1:30 p.m., and the parade will begin at 2:00 p.m.  Our exact meeting location will be posted in each Studio one week before the parade.   Call the studio if you do not see the posting.  Please pick up your child at Studio I, 243 West Broad Street, Quakertown, IMMEDIATELY after the group passes the judge's stand located in Center Square on Broad Street.  PLEASE BE PROMPT.  DO NOT WAIT TILL THE PARADE ENDS TO PICK UP YOUR CHILD.  The younger children get upset if they do not see you when other parents are there.  We will have a treat for the children in the parade.  If the parade is cancelled due to rain, a parade cancellation message will be on the Studio answering machine.  Please call 215-536-6755.  We are looking for flat bed trailers for the younger children to ride on.  Please call the studio at 215-536-6755 as soon as possible if you have one we can borrow.

ANYONE 5 AND UNDER MUST RIDE ON THE FLOAT.  Please bring a blanket for your preschool child to sit on.  CHILDREN MAY NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE FLOAT DURING THE PARADE.  YOU MUST WAIT TILL THE FLOAT PASSES THE CORNER BEFORE TAKING YOUR CHILD.  THE FLOAT MUST TURN THE CORNER OF 3RD AND BROAD STREET AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE CHILDREN CAN BE REMOVED.  THIS IS EXTREMLY IMPORTANT AND FOR YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY.  The parade is not mandatory, EXCEPT FOR COMPANY MEMBERS, but the children seem to enjoy this event.  No child under the age of 3 may participate.  Also if your child is frightened of Halloween, she/he should NOT participate.

NEEDED FOR THE PARADE:   Volunteer parents are needed to ride on the float or to walk the parade route.  We will only need 4 parents to ride on the float.  This will allow more room for the children who want to ride the float. We cannot take up room on the floats for extra parents.  Parent Volunteers must watch all children on the float. There will be sign up sheets posted in each studio.  We will contact those parents who signed up first to ride.  If others are helping, they must walk. Parents are asked to wear a BLACK sweatshirt or T-shirt or the PARADE shirt regardless if they are walking or riding. Thank you in advance for all your parade help.

PARADE IS MANDATORY FOR ALL COMPANY MEMBERS.
