National Tom Sawyer Day Parade

Monday July 4th, 2011

REGISTRATION 9 A.M. | PARADE 10 A.M.

 

This years NTSD parade theme is "Let Freedom Ring"

Whether you’re one or a hundred and one, our parade has something for you!  With an average of 100 entries there is something for everyone to see.  Children anxiously wait to see what special treats they will be handed.  Whether it be the Toms & Beckys, the polished and gleamed antique cars, the dancers, the horses, the bands or colorful floats, we are sure that your favorite will be passing by!  This year the Hannibal Jaycees have a themed parade and will have trophies for the best floats.  The floats will be judged on the “America’s Hometown – Twain Style” theme.   The parade is a lot of fun and we want to continue to keep it fun but we need to keep safety in mind.  The Hannibal Jaycees and Hannibal Police Department are working together to ensure fun and safety for everyone. 

Once again, candy or objects can no longer be tossed from vehicles or floats.  It must be handed out by walking along the sidewalks.   Minors will no longer be allowed to ride ATV’s or motorcycles without an adult.  Speeding up and slamming on the brakes will be prohibited.   

The parade is scheduled for Monday July 4th, 10:00 a.m., RAIN OR SHINE, on Broadway. Registrations received by July 1 are $10, or $15 if received day of parade. To register, contact Jennifer Foster at 573-231-2630 fosterj72@yahoo.com  or Click [here] to go to the printable entry form. Parade Rules
