Any entries received after the deadline will not be accepted. 

Judging for entries will consider all entry types; commercial and non-commercial floats, antique cars and tractors, riding clubs, bands, and unpaid entertainment. Judged entries will be evaluated on creativity, exhibiting the theme, originality, appearance and use of music. We encourage all participants building floats to create unique and creative floats to help us represent the tradition of the XIT Rodeo and Reunion as well as this year’s parade theme “Buckles, Boots & Spurs”. 

Once entries are received you will be assigned an entry number. These numbers can be picked up from the Chamber of Commerce on or before Friday, August 4th before 2:00 p.m. If you are unable to pick up your number from the Chamber of Commerce, numbers will be available on Saturday morning during the parade lineup. Parade lineup will begin on Denver Ave. and will continue east on Texas Blvd. Numerous Past Directors  will be donating their time to get you staged in your designated area so look for the white shirts. Staging will begin at 8:30 a.m.
