13% Block Name: Creativity and Expression of your Block Name (must include street name. Ex: The West Bird Birdies)

Questions:

  1. How many homes make up a block?

    We consider a block an area that has about thirty homes or less. If you are close to that number, please mail Joe@carnation4th.org to check if you qualify.

  2. Does everyone on the block gets a gift delivered, not just those in the parade?

    Yes. You all can celebrate together :)

  3. When will they be delivered?

    We are planning on delivering the prizes on Wednesday morning 7/17/24, but that may change.

Rules:

  1. Your parade entry must have a prominent sign with the name of your block which includes your street name. (ex: The Friends of East Reitze)

  2. Your block must be located in Carnation, WA city limits or be close by.

    If you live close to Carnation but you do not live in city limits (ex: you still shop at IGA), email Joe@carnation4th.org to check if you qualify.

  3. You must register as a parade entry.
