CANNABIS LAW REFORM RALLY AND PARADE2:00pm * Gather and get ready for the MardiGrass Parade. If you want to be in it join us all at the top of Cecil Street where it meets Cullen Street, opposite the local Police Station. The march is the main event, so please come and join in. We have the second Float Competition, sponsored by Happy High Herbs, but we’re not talking motorised floats. Here’s how they see it, and of course we would like it if there was an anti-prohibition theme to the “float”. If you have a float remember to arrive in time for pre-parade judging! 
FLOAT COMPETITION Due to a change of circumstances for the principal sponsor, the float competition is in reduced circumstances. Bravely, our sponsor has put up a thousand dollars in prizemoney. Nimbin Happy High Herbs has chipped in five hundred! We are actively seeking sponsors to take up the gap between that and last years, but if they are not found we will have to make do. CONDITIONS:
Height – Floats must not exceed 3.2 metres from “the road”.
Width – Must not exceed 2.4 metres wide.
Length – Should not exceed 4.2 metres long, however this is a bit flexible.
Floats must be peopled or green powered.
You will be given a competitor number at the beginning of the Parade. Floats may feature a single person or group, or may be a centrepiece of a larger on foot display. These floats are our opportunity to present a powerful message to the outside world of both celebration and/or protest. Your float can express whatever you feel or want to share. We need floats and displays that reflect our area, our people, our pride and desires for the future, our fun and festivity. Drug Law Reform is a major focus of this festival and we encourage all to have their say.
JUDGING: Judges will remain unknown until the day of the event. They will be women and men, and mostly not part of the Happy High Herb shop. A 1-10 point score method will be adopted. 1. Judged pre-parade whilst assembling:
