ATTENTION MOTOR VEHICLES – Do Not Violate California Vehicle Codes. No dangerous stunts are allowed. Safety of our spectators is our foremost concern.
FOR EVERYONE’S SAFETY – Do not throw souvenirs or candy from vehicles. You may walk and hand out candy or souvenirs if
you wish…just think safety when you do. Thank you for your cooperation!!
DO NOT FORGET – The Family Community Church will offer a Pancake Breakfast from 8 AM to 10 AM (Donations Accepted!!).
