We are charging fees again this year. Thank you for your cooperation
and understanding.
The Holmen Lions Club makes many charitable contributions to organizations
in the Village of Holmen and throughout the Coulee Region.
Our good works also reach out to the rest of our state and the world through
the Wisconsin Lions Foundation and the Lions Club International
Foundation.
We are limiting our entries to 140 this year. This will hopefully
make for a shorter and higher quality parade. The Kornfest Parade
Committee has
the final say on all applications. Past participation in the parade
does not ensure future participation. We are setting a deadline of
August 4th for
all applications. We will not be taking entries up to the start of
the parade. Late applications will be returned.
All applications must be:
Completely filled out & Accompanied by the appropriate Registration
Fee
Applications missing information or the accompanying fee will be returned.
If it is humanly possible we will call to get missing information.
Please check it twice before you send it, this is not a guarantee.
We are limiting mailings. Look for applications on our website www.holmenlions.org,
area newspapers or pick one up at the Holmen Edward Jones
office at 106 S. Holmen Drive. Your parade lineup number and parade
day instructions will be posted on our website and published in the Holmen
Courier on August 8th.
We will not be accepting changes in the lineup after the application deadline
unless we have made an error. The Parade Committee will decide the
order of appearance for all units. Additional information regarding
special circumstances will be entertained, but this is no guarantee we
will make a change.
You can put as many horses and other animals as you like into the parade,
but you must have your own manure cleanup. This includes cleanup
for the
staging area, the parade route and the dispersal area. Be prepared
to answer several questions regarding cleanup before your application is
accepted.
We love candy.
We love children. Do not throw candy or items from moving vehicles.
Children and moving vehicles do not mix.
You may disperse all the candy and promotional items
you can carry, but you MUST have people walking the parade route
to do so.
