He added that while the parade will still form at McElroy Park, and then head down 8th Street Southeast and over to 1st Avenue South and will end just before the railroad tracks.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The parade is no longer allowed to cross the railroad tracks, and will turn east on 1st Street East, to 2nd Avenue East and head south back to McElroy Park.\u00a0 He noted that the best place still to view the parade is on First Avenue as some of the floats may decide to disband\u00a0 after passing by on First Avenue.<\/p>\n
For nonmembers of the JDA, participating in the parade is $35. For members there is a $25 fee, and for nonprofit organizations that are unable to afford the fee, it may be waived, Kourajian said. The JDA is also accepting sponsors for the parade for $100, and if the sponsors also want to participate in the parade, their registration fee is then waived.<\/p>\n
