    HORSE / ANIMALS General Application to Participate 2022
    ALL SECTIONS MUST BE COMPLETED OR YOUR APPLICATION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED -- if not related to your group, please mark "N/A"

    I, the Responsible Party signing below, do understand that my horse and/or animal unit MUST have a clean-up person (or persons) on site the day of the parade and will keep our area clean and free of manure.  If my unit does not have a "pooper scooper" on site, my unit will NOT be permitted to participate in the parade.  I do understand that parade officials will check on the horse and animal units to make sure there is someone cleaning up after the animals.  The clean-up person(s) MUST check-in at the sign-in desk.
    I further understand that horse and other animal units that have not applied for participation in the parade will not be permitted.  I understand that the parade instituted a no walk-in policy several years ago and this will be enforced.
    I also recognize that the parade is organized entirely by volunteers who are not responsible for cleaning up after my animals; by the same token, the townspeople are not responsible for manure left on their property by my animals.  I will make sure manure etc. produced by my animals is cleaned up promptly before, during, and after the parade.  I understand that not cleaning up after my animals will result in my being disqualified from participating in future parades.
    I agree that my unit will complete the parade route as outlined from the Cochranton Elementary School parking lot to the Cochranton High School parking lot.  My unit will not abort the parade to take a short-cut back to the fairgrounds or my vehicles.  I understand that not completing the parade route will disqualify my participation for the 2022 (and future) parades.
    RETURN THIS FORM AND GENERAL APPLICATION TO PARTICIPATE WITH BIOGRAPHICAL DATA BY July 15, 2022.  (There are two forms for horse and animal units to submit for the parade.)  When submitting online, please wait for the Confirmation Screen.  There will not be an email confirming receipt of application.
