Fun Walker — Someone who walks on two legs, and is normally recognized as human.  Fun Walkers can walk alone or with their animals.  They do not participate in any of the prize categories.

Team Member — A group of people that either walk together or ride in any type of motorized vehicle.  Each vehicle must be registered.  CARS in a Team cost extra (see prices above).  Team Members compete in the BEST TEAM CATEGORY.

Cars — Antique cars, or anything drivable with four wheels, are welcome in the parade.  Groups of cars can be entered into the BEST TEAM CATEGORY.  If you have something larger than a car, but it’s not a float, it is still registered as a car.

Motorcycles — These have two or three wheels. Please be aware that many animals are sensitive to loud noises.  We ask you be considerate of this if entering a motorcycle in the parade.

Floats — A large, and oftentimes flat, vehicle that is decorated with a theme.  Don’t worry if you don’t have a theme, we’ve seen all kinds.  Floats can have people ride them (they’re covered in the float entry fee), as well as people walking alongside them (Note: if you don't ride on the float and want to walk alongside, you must register as a walker).

Political Teams: If you are a politician and want to bring a car and walk with supporters — We’re glad to have you at Do Dah Day.  Your CAR will be a $50 registration fee.
