Dear Franklin County Parade Participants,
I’m writing to you to introduce our rules and guidelines regarding the Homecoming Parade this fall. Information in this section includes dates, times, location, and the High School’s policy involving participants in the Homecoming Parade.
Time, Date, and Location
The 2024 Homecoming Parade will be held on Friday, October 4th. The event will begin immediately at 5 PM, and will last approximately thirty to forty-five minutes. The parade will begin at St. Michael’s school, will take a right on and proceed down Main Street. The procession will take a right on E 9th Street, and will finish down by the town pool.
Guidelines for Parade Participants
The purpose of the 2024 Homecoming parade is to strictly celebrate the spirit of Franklin County that is exemplified within our high school. With this in mind, the following organizations / decorations will not be permitted into the 2024 Homecoming parade:
Political parties and groups of any kind
Political signs of any sort - ex: reelect, elect, “vote for,” banners, signs, stickers, flags, etc.
Signs supporting/discouraging a political policy - ex. Renewable Energy, Abortion, Gun Rights, etc.
NOTE: Any violation of this rule will result in disqualification for future participation in the Homecoming parade.
The Franklin County High School Administration along with the current FCHS Student Council Executive Board reserves the right to decide on an entry to the annual Franklin County High School Homecoming parade.
Should an entry be determined to not follow the guidelines above, they will be contacted immediately and removed from the parade roster. If you have an inquiry as to whether or not your organization qualifies to present in the parade, please contact us immediately (see Contact Us section of this document).
These basic rules for all parade participants are based on preserving the authenticity of the event. All organizations that are looking to have a presence in the 2024 Homecoming parade should contact the FCHS office, Tanya Wirtz (Student Council Sponsor), or Laney Wuestefeld (Student Council President) immediately to reserve a spot in the lineup. If one of these points of contact has not been reached, you will not be given a position in the Parade lineup.
