Some DO’s and DONT’s to keep in mind:

• Do be prepared to work hard. All jobs are equally important
• Do work only on the float or job you are assigned to.
• Do be prepared to get grimy. WEAR OLD CLOTHES (layers recommended for comfort). Bring an old sweater or jacket, as sometimes it can get very cold
• Do plan on staying a minimum of four hours.
• Don't sightsee around the float building
• Don't be wasteful of any decoration materials
• Don't refuse to do a job
• Don't bring any valuables with you.
• Don't take any flowers.
• Do bring your own lunch, drinks, etc. There are vendors selling lunch items, but they are expensive and lines are long
• Do bring a blanket and/or folding chairs for your breaks
• Do bring your own scissors (labeled), and other cutting tools. Tie with a string around your neck.
• Ages 13 and older are allowed on scaffolding. Children 11 - 12 may decorate in other areas. Family and friends are invited as long as they are there to work, and have fun as well.
• If possible, wear a name tag to identify you as a C.A.R. member. There will be members throughout the state looking for you.
• There are no storage areas for your sweaters, jackets, purses, etc.
• Radios and Ipods are not permitted. use cell phones outside the float building, as they interfere with the communication system.
