Numerous floats will be featured along with, marching bands, dancers, decorated vehicles, and at the end a special appearance from Santa Claus.
Floats will be created by churches, local businesses, and individual groups will be competing for first place trophies in respective categories. To be eligible for the competition floats must have an American flag displayed somewhere on the float. The categories are creativity, craftsmanship, originality, effort, and american flag displayed.
To assure that the parade goes as smoothly as possible volunteers from the local Vietnam Veterans of America and members of Soddy-Daisy High J.R.O.T.C. will make sure everything is in place and organized.
Floats are allowed to throw out candy, but only if they are walking beside the float, no candy is to be thrown from a moving vehicle. The public is to watch their surroundings, in order to not interrupt or get harmed during the parade.
