(Guadalupe County) — “Who are we missing?” That’s the question parade organizers are asking as they seek more entries for the Guadalupe County Fair Parade scheduled for Friday, October 10.
Parade Chairman Gail Damerau says although entries have been coming in slowly, she is anticipating another great parade.
“We are way behind. I’m not sure what the holdup is or if everybody is holding up for last minute, but we are trying to get our entries in and get everybody registered online at gcfair.org. We’ve got probably about 20-25 right now so that’s where you go to put in your entry and there is a two-step process and then, it will kick your entry in and you will be ready to go,” said Damerau.
The good news according to Damerau is that anyone can patriciate in the 142-year-old tradition.
“The fair parade consists of anything that wants to be in the parade. We will take it all. There is a cost for businesses or politicians, political entries and that’s $40 — So, pretty cheap for advertising for one of the busiest days in downtown Seguin,” said Damearau.
Although there are plenty of spots still available, Damerau encourages folks to register now.
“We’ve got (the deadline) for the end of September – the end of the month just because we’ve got to get everything kind of wrapped up, but we do take late ones. They just need to understand that if you are in after the deadline, we don’t actually officially judge (their entry),” said Damerau.
Again, the parade will be traveling south along Austin Street beginning at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 10. The route will end at the Guadalupe County Fairgrounds. The parade is part of this year’s Guadalupe County Fair and PRCA Rodeo scheduled for Oct. 9-11.
