MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Tina Allard, City Clerk
DATE: July 12, 2010
SUBJECT: Sherburne County Fair Parade Information
The Sherburne County Fair parade is scheduled Friday, July 16. Arrive by 6:00 p.m. for setup
on the fire truck. Candy will be available to distribute to the public.
A map of where float units will be lining up is attached. As of today, we haven't gotten any
information on our unit number and where the truck is supposed to line up. I'll send an
email when I get further information.
--------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT PARTICIPANT INFORMATION (FROM FAIR WEBSITE)
Float line-up begins at 5:30 p.m. along Main Street, with the parade stepping off at 6:30 p.m.
For ease of traffic flow, please enter the parade line-up from the east (the side closer to
Historic downtown Elk River). All parade units will be facing the west; the second half of
the units will be lined up on the wrong side of the road.
Please avoid having cars drop off parade participants on Main Street. Plan for your group to
meet/drop off on side streets along the parade line-up area. We only want the vehicles that
will be pulling floats/part of the parade to enter the line-up area.
The parade ends behind the fairgrounds at the intersection of Orono Parkway and Joplin
Avenue. Please plan to meet your group somewhere like the fairgrounds parking lot, near
the east Main Entrance gate. Stopping along Joplin Avenue causes traffic issues.
