If you have any questions about the parade line up,
contact Jim Fisher at 812-675-9491
Parade Line up begins at 3pm and all units should be in position by 5pm. Any riders, walkers, etc. should be dropped off by 5:30pm. Please keep in mind that there are many components to the parade and line up. It is easier to place multiple vehicles, floats, trailers, etc. over a couple of hours, versus the majority of the entries all coming in at the last minute. We appreciate your understanding and those entries that can arrive early.
- STEP 1 - CHECK IN AT THE INTERSECTION OF 13TH & M STREET WITH A MEMBER OF THE BEDFORD LIONS CLUB.
- Parade Entries will be placed in order when they arrive.
- IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE VEHICLE AS PART OF YOUR ENTRY IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ARRIVE ALL TOGETHER, AT THE SAME TIME
- PARADE JUDGING will take place DURING THE PARADE and judges will be at the 16th & I street intersection, where the radio station is set up for the parade.
- The parade will step off at 6pm.

ANDY CRUISERS will distribute items donated by the parade units. Please drop off your candy, items, or literature at the parade line up area to be added to the wagons for distribution. The reason behind this decision is to reduce risk and also for liability purposes. Unfortunately, disregard to the rules in previous parades has caused us to have to make adjustments and we simply want to ensure our parades can continue for years to come.
