  • Winners will be announced after the parade via local radio stations and the Baxter Bulletin.
  • LINE UP is between 4:15-5:30.  PARADE BEGINS at 5:30 pm.
  • **New!!!  PARADE will continue on South Main Street (past Guy Berry School) this year to the ASUMH campus.  If you are not able to continue to the campus, please take a left at South Main & East 10th (in front of Guy Berry) and avoid stopping the rest of the parade traffic.  There will be parking at ASUMH for parade vehicles.
  • DO NOT throw candy from vehicles…for the safety of the children.  Have walkers beside the floats to toss the candy to onlookers.
