NEW!! Advanced Registration |
Please register in advance of
the parade by emailing Julie
Hansen @
julieh@midwestinfo.net.
Julie will
assign a registration number
than can be printed on an 8.5 X
11" paper. Make sure the printed
number is a large enough font to
be read by the judges at 30
yards. We prefer advance
registration, but will accept
Day-Of registration 1 hour prior
to the parade. |

Day-Of Registration |
You can register the day of the
parade up to 1 hour prior to the
start time. Go to the Sandy
Beach/North Public access and
you will be given a registration
number. |
|
How To Be Judged |
As you approach the judges, stop
the forward motion of your boat
within 30 feet of the judges. Show your registration card, and
then proceed only when the
judges wave you on. |
|
Route |
Route will be determined the day
of the parade based on the
direction of the wind. Parade will end at Sand Bar on
South side (outlet to Ida Lake).
