CLEAN-UP ON AISLE 4Clean-up crews will make their rounds along the parade route (even before the parade starts and will continue until we are done). Please do not expect all trash to be picked up 5 minutes after the parade. If you see some trash that is driving you crazy and you can’t wait for us, feel free to bend over and pick it up and throw it away. Thank you.
If you are hosting a party at your house; please be sure to have your own trash receptacles. We cannot provide you with one, and volunteers won’t go on private properties for clean-up.
