DEAR FRIENDS:
The Romeo Peach Festival Committee extends this invitation to you. Please take a minute to
complete and submit the attached application for this year’s Romeo Peach Festival Parade which
takes place on the afternoon of Labor Day, Monday, September 7, 2015.
Trophies will be offered in the following 5 categories: Commercial Entry, Non-Commercial Entry,
Musical Performance (Bands, Dance), Vehicle Entry & Novelty Entry.

Politicians and political candidates may participate in our parade, and there is a $300
charge. In line with our previous parade policy of being non-political, the committee has
ruled that there will be no political stickers or signs of any kind permitted on entries
unless political payment has been made.
All Single Commercial entries advertising a company and/or product must pay an
entrance fee of $200. Please limit advertising to one business per entry.
Multiple Commercial entries may have more than one business displayed and must pay
an entrance fee of $250. Note: Only one trophy will be awarded to the “contact”
business, if your entry wins.
Community Groups (ex. scouts, non-profits, churches, clubs) do not have to pay a fee.
In considering these fees, please understand that the parade costs over $20,000 to produce. Also,
up to 40,000 people attend the parade, and it will be broadcast many times on WBRW, community
cable television, throughout the year. This makes it a great advertising opportunity!
STAGING PREFERENCE is based on date of application submitted, type of entry and prior position
in the parade. We make a tremendous effort to rotate entries each year in the parade. Therefore,
please don’t be discouraged if you are located in the second half of the parade. PLEASE RETURN
YOUR APPLICATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND NO LATER THAN AUGUST 14. All entries received
after this date may be at the end of the scheduled applicants in the parade route, and may not be
eligible for judging or trophies. You will receive a confirmation notice once your application has
been accepted. In August, you will receive a map to parade check in. On Parade Day at check in,
you will receive your parade number and staging area info.
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS. WE HAVE OVER 100 ENTRIES IN THE PARADE WITH THREE DIFFERENT STAGING
AREAS.
Please fill out the application completely. This information will determine the category you will
be judged in and also your staging area. Please remember to attach a TYPED brief description of
your entry to your application. Our parade announcers and WBRW use this information to
announce you as you pass.
Thank you in advance for your participation in the Romeo Peach Festival Parade. We look forward
to seeing you!
Sincerely,
Clara Russell & Grace Venet
