This parade wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of the Norman Police Department and the City of Norman Public Works Department for their incredible efforts in making this event a success.

We also want to express our sincere gratitude to our volunteers, especially our esteemed judges: Judge Thad Balkman, Judge Leah Edwards, Judge Beth Stanley, Judge Michael Tupper, Judge Jeff Virgin.
