I am so disappointed. I have wanted to go every year because it sounded like a lot of fun, but I have never been able to. This year I had planned to go to this if I didn’t go anywhere else- it was on my “must do this year” list! I guess I waited too long. :’-(
As usual, the ones of us that know how to behave like adults in public lose out on our fun because some people have to go and be idiots. That makes me so mad.

Is there any possibility that you would reconsider, and add/enforce stricter rules?

I used to live a mile from there and my kids went to that school. I remember the week after the parade there would be tons of trash across from the school and even furniture (a sofa) just left out there one year. We went once, never went again. Always made sure we were out of town. The one year we went, my kids were scared, there were so many drunks and they were obnoxious and rude for the most part. I’m glad it’s been changed to something else. Was giving Chumuckla a bad name. A shame it came to this. But, it was allowed to go that far so…

There is a big difference in rednecks and trashy people. A lot of my close friends and i used to go out there every year and cookout and have a good time and yes we would have a few drinks but we kept it with in reason noone got drunk. We also picked up everything we brought with up and the trash that other people left around us. I hate to see it go i have had some good times out there. Maybe if people would go back to teaching their kids some respect and responsibilities this would not have been such a problem.

I think this is just an excuse. If you wanted to keep this fund raising event, then there should be someone to set regulations and to make sure they are enforced. For example… other local parades do not have beer drinking chicken slinging riders on the floats, but this is however allowed on your parade floats. If this is what you allow then how can you complain once it all goes bad?? Anyway, I will say it was entertaining the couple of times I was there.

It got out of hand because they allowed it to get out of hand.
“They” being the ones that said nothing and stayed home the next years.
“They” being the LEO’s that looked the other way most of the time because the paperwork and time involved to arrest is too much.
As soon as some started to act up, there should have been a chainlink corral to toss the offenders into nearby until the parade was over.
And right next to the parade so that all of their friends and neighbors could laugh at them in the cage.
But no, that would be too much so cancel the whole thing.
Congrats to the drunks.

Well, there goes another public event that welcomed horses. I quit attending parades as the horses have been banned. I know many people who would LOVE to attend events of any kind, where horses would be welcomed. I AM ONE!!
