Our costumes will be:
These are the basic items we will all have…you can add variety from here!

  • A solid color t-shirt.  (without lettering or designs)  Bright colors will be best!
  • Beach Shorts:  They could be swim trunks or any kind of shorts that you’d wear to the beach.
  • Diving Mask or goggles!
  • A Snorkle! (Wal-Mart has a dive mask/snorkle package for about $5)
  • Bring a bag of candy to hand out yourself.

    Other items:

  • A bottle of water for yourself!
  • Any other beach or diving accessories you want to full out your costume.

     

Schedule:

  • 3:00 pm. Staging at Jeremy Koskie’s house: 110 Union St.  Muscatine (Off Washington by Weed Park)   This is where we’ll get our costumes all ready, and wait for the call to head to the lineup.
  • 4:00 pm. Head to parade lineup.  Parade starts at 5:00pm and our trip through will be over at close to 6:00.
  • 9:00pm. (approx)  Fireworks at riverfront park.
