Can we hand out candy?
Because little ones along the parade route get very excited about candy coming their way, we request NO THROWING of candy or other items along the parade route. This is simply a safety issue. Parade participants may certainly walk along and hand out candy or other items on the route which is enjoyed and appreciated by everyone watching the parade.
