Join us, tomorrow (Saturday) morning.
We applied --and paid for-- for a maximum 20 participants in our marching entry.
"All parade units/entries must comply with the maximum number of participants per entry."
"ALL UNITS MUST MAINTAIN FORWARD MOTION unless directed otherwise by the official MLK Parade Staff and/or Law Enforcement. The parade ends at Archer & Elgin – Do not stop, disband or exit parade until reaching this point and following Parade Officials' direction to proper location."
Judging of entries starts at 8:30 am. (TPF is not competing, however). Parade starts at 11am.
Everyone participating in the parade is obliged to recognize the MLK Society's rules for the parade. Among those, it states:
"The MLK Commemoration Society, parade committee and parade officials reserve the right to disqualify any entry not complying with the rules-regulations and guidelines and/or the spirit of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration festivities. ... actions portraying violent, abusive and/or offensive behavior are not permitted and will be grounds for removal."
We are to slot ourselves into the space and time allotted to us, and 'fit with the program' of the day.
TPF is a registered non-profit organization in the State of Oklahoma, a non-partisan and non-sectarian civic sector organization, devoted to peace, social uplift, and nonviolence.
