Again, this year we will be participating in the Meridian Winter Lights Parade and Meridian will be asking for volunteers to be road guards from 3:00 pm till 8:00 pm if you can do this, please let me know as soon as possible, they really appreciated it last year.
If you volunteer to be a road guard and you are also riding in the parade, they will release you in time to ride in the parade, just let me know in advance if you plan on doing both.

NOTE: This event is limited to 14 Machines so an early RSVP will assure you a spot.

**IMPORTANT:** Our entry number this year will be communicated later and our window to show up at the Meridian Speedway gravel area north of the Speedway for unloading is between 5:30 and 5:45 pm and I will be there to direct you where to park, so please look for me in the parking lot down by the entrance to the speedway. No one will unload inside the speedway. The parade will start moving at 6:40 pm. We will also have doughnuts before the parade.

**NOTE:** Enter the speedway for line up off Watertower Road only by the Bark (Dog) Park. For traffic safety the speedway entrance on Main Street will be closed at 4:00 pm. You may want to arrive early as the traffic gets very heavy that time of day. I will be in the parking lot by 4:00 PM if you arrive early.

After you are unloaded you will drive inside the speedway and Bill McBroom? Will be lining the machines up for the Parade.

**Light Decorations**\- This is a lighted parade please decorate your machine with as many lights as possible\. Can you get to 500 lights or maybe 1000? Our entry will be *judged* as we pass the reviewing stand.

**Theme:** "So bright you gotta wear shades"

No Santa Claus of any kind may be used in any entry. There will be just one Santa Claus at the end of the parade, Santa Hats are acceptable.

Two Walking Spotters are required, but four would be great Two on each side front and rear of our entry for safety purposes and strongly encouraged to be decorated with lights. If you are willing to be a spotter, please let me know or check in with me upon arrival. Spotters can park in the parking lot just below the gravel area.

**Machine Safety:** Prior to the parade Meridian Fire Department will be inspecting each vehicle for a fire extinguisher if you are using a generator to power your entry it has to have a 2A-10BC fire extinguisher. Available at your local hardware store that is easily accessible to the operator. Generators being used to power lights they must be GFI protected. All exhaust pipes must be clear and nothing combustible may rest against the exhaust or catalytic converter.

**Route:** The Parade route will be less than 5 miles the route is shown in the picture section of this event
