The 2011 County Fair Parade will be held on Friday, July 15.
Line-up begins at 5:30pm along Main Street, with the parade stepping off at 6:30pm.
The
parade committee suggests that all units enter the line-up area from the east end of Elk
River to avoid having to make U-turns.
Entries received prior to the specified deadline will receive a postcard with their unit
position approximately 4 days before the parade. Line-up will also be posted on this
website and will be updated frequently.
Click here for a map of the parade route. Disregard Map quest's written directions.
Refer to description below. Parade begins at Rush and Main St, goes left on Main, right
onto Orono Road/Parkway, continues past the library and City Hall, and ends behind the
fairgrounds at the corner of Joplin.
There are no bathrooms in the line-up area or along the parade route, so please plan
accordingly!
IMPORTANT PARTICIPANT INFORMATION
Parade line-up is along Main Street in Elk River. Click here for line-up diagram. Please
note: diagram is approximate and not-to-scale, and includes street names and unit
numbers.
For ease of traffic flow, please enter the parade line-up from the east (the side closer to
Historic downtown Elk River). All parade units will be facing the west, the second half of
the units will be lined up on the wrong side of the road.
Please avoid having cars drop off parade participants on Main Street. Plan for your
group to meet/drop off on side streets along the parade line-up area. We only want the
vehicles that will be pulling floats/part of the parade to enter the line-up area.
When you get to your line-up spot, please snug up to the unit before you. We have
designated specific footage for each unit (based on the measurement you provided on
your entry form), and don’t have much allowances for extra space between.
The parade ends behind the fairgrounds at the intersection of Orono Parkway and Joplin
Ave. Please plan to meet your group somewhere like the fairgrounds parking lot, near
the east Main Entrance gate. Stopping along Joplin Ave causes a lot of traffic issues.
