Suggested lineup of vehicles, floats, etc.  Shown in Red.

The yellow line shows the actual parade route.

​The pink line shows suggested routes for the walking/marching groups to get back to suggested parking areas- Union School Park, Football Field, and if needed Greenwood Cemetery.  
There will be volunteers at entrance to Greenwood cemetery notifying which group/float/vehicle is to begin the parade.  
​
