•The other parade entries – trailers, vehicles, and walkers – will line up on South Dupre Street.
•There will be no lining up on North Dupre, alongside Citizen’s Bank.
•The line-up on South Dupre Street will be in two rows.
•The overflow will line-up along the back of the empty lot on West Magnolia Street.
•Line-up is first-come, first-served, with Ville Platte High School and Ville Platte Police Department officials controlling the flow of the parade.
•If there is more than one vehicle associated with an entry, then all vehicles or trailers must arrive together in order to leave together. There will be no “line jumping” to try to keep float entries together.
