Entry Information for Effingham County Fair Parade

The Effingham County Fair Twilight Parade will be on Sunday, August 3. The parade sponsors at Altamont Ambulance Service would like to encourage pre-registration of your entry.

The parade theme and the theme for this year's fair is "Blue Jeans and Country Dreams." There will be cash prizes awarded for chosen parade category winners with ribbons presented to all participants.

Pre-registration is required for judged entries and must be received by August 2. Non-judged entries may register the day of the parade, but pre-registration is highly recommended.

The procession will begin a half-hour later than in the past. The parade will take off from the parking lot or other designated staging areas near Altamont High School at 5:15pm to arrive at the grandstand by 5:30pm. Participants are to arrive between 3:45 and 4:15pm to facilitate judging and parade lineup.

Online registration is encouraged and available by clicking here.

A printable entry form is also available at this direct link.

A short description of your parade entry of 35 words or less should be furnished with your entry form. You may phone Terry, Deb or Amy at 618-483-6804 if you have any questions or would like to register your entry by phone.

This year's Master of Ceremonies for the parade will be our own Greg Sapp.
