There will be no unloading of horses on Spring Street, West Street or Broadway Street near Conway Lots. There will be no parking on West Street, as this is the alternate traffic route.
For safety reasons, no items are to be thrown from any unit in the parade. This includes candy, pennies, balloons, pencils, etc. You may have people walking along side the street handing out such items. No paper pamphlets or brochures of any kind are to be handed out during the parade, due to the litter these cause.
