Does it cost anything to be in the parade?
Whew! Our costs keep going up and unfortunately no money falls from the sky. But we found a way to make the registration fee more equitable and still provide you with daffodils and a button for every youth participant in your group. Now each group pays a registration fee based on the total number of people in your group. Please see the chart below for fees and the number of daffodils you’ll receive.

Small Group (1-15 people) – $50.00
Medium Group (16-35 people) – $70.00
Large Group (36-75 people) – $90.00
Mega Group (76+ people) – $110.00

Late fee – 10.00 late fee if registration is received after March 31
registration closes April, 5th

Be creative, “Time to Shine” is a great theme with hundreds of possibilities. Design a float using daffodils (of course) and toilet paper tubes, boxes, chicken wire, egg cartons, duct tape, balloons-the sky is the limit!

Incorporate ‘sound’ with kazoos, whistles, music, voice, and homemade drums!!
Where do I go on the day of the parade?

Registration begins at 9:00 AM at Mason United Methodist Church. Only one person from your group needs to sign-in. This is a required step. You’ll receive your parade line-up number to carry and buttons for all the youth members of your group.

Parking is a problem the day of the parade. Please pay attention to the traffic control people-they are there to help you and keep the children safe. You may drop off your children and floats in the drop-off area at the church. Please remember to have an adult accompany your group. PLEASE do not park in “No parking” areas, your car will be ticketed. Do not block private driveways. Please, please, please do not remove barricades and drive thru on those streets!! Again, you will be ticketed.
What do I do if my mom and dad get lost?

The Jr. Daffodil Committee enlists the help from Police, Police Explorers, Boy Scouts, Pierce Co. Search & Rescue, and volunteers – they all are there to help traffic, crowd control and to contact and reunite “lost” parents & children. There is a designated area at the church for lost kids. Please discuss with your group and parents where your meeting place will be.
