• Payment must be received in order for an application to be considered completed.  
• Signs on vehicles promoting donation or sponsorship by car dealerships outside of McHenry are prohibited.  This may result in ejection from the parade.  If you need a vehicle, please contact Castle Autoplex McHenry, Buss Ford Lincoln, or Sunnyside Dodge Chrysler.
• Political Candidates or Officials seeking or holding an office must be present in the parade - not just their vehicles and supporters.
