In this story

Send the application by November 12

Keysville’s entry packet sets Thursday, November 12, as the return deadline. Use the submission address in the official form.

The packet asks for an entry type, total length and whether you want the entry judged. If you’re towing a float, measure the whole combination, from the front of the towing vehicle to the back of the trailer.

Include a description for the announcer; the packet says an entry without that attachment won’t be judged.

Music has a separate cutoff

The deadline for sending music to be played at the judges’ stand is November 20, not the deadline for submitting an entry. The Town calls this an evening lighted parade and asks entrants to read the staging and safety instructions in the packet.

This is an application guide. It does not confirm acceptance, a spectator start time or public parking.
