Cranfest Announces New Parade Categories

If you're itching to be in this year's parade, you're in luck! Warrens Cranberry Festival recently announced two new nonprofit and novelty categories for its 2009 parade.

The parade, which takes place on Sept. 27 at noon, hopes to involve more locals by adding the new categories. Each category accepts kid and adult entries free of charge, and the novelty category also features a commercial subcategory for businesses. Commercial entries are $55.

The parade committee encourages all entries to be creative. Why not have a theme, such as a movie or TV series? Or you could focus on a particular decade like the hippies of the 60s or catch the dancing fever of the 70s. Feeling patriotic? Let it shine on your float! Keep in mind, these are only suggestions. Get as creative as you want to represent your group.

First place winners in each category will receive $150, with second place receiving $50. Entries are due Aug. 20.

To request an entry form or to receive more information, contact the festival office at 608-378-4200 or office@cranfest.com. Forms are also available at www.cranfest.com. Good luck!
