I know this is early, but I cannot stress enough regarding the “Stan Brubaker Anything Goes Fourth of July Parade,” be smart and throw candy over the spectators. Please don’t just drop it on the street remember there are a bunch of candy loving kids and some parents egging them on and we don’t want any injuries. Also if you want to squirt each other on your float do so. Nobody else wants to get wet.
