Pre-parade tip shared at the parade organizational meeting:
Start drinking “extra” water NOW! It takes a couple of days to fully hydrate, so you need to work up to it to be prepared for the parade. Wear a hat and sunscreen and bring extra water with you!
The Red Cross will also be passing out cold water at the end of the parade when you get back to the assembly area, but you will need some to sustain you throughout the parade! They will also have a first aid tent available, but we don’t want you to need that!!!
