Please remember we are guests of the Madison County School Board. This is the only place we have to construct our floats. If we do not act as they request, we may lose the privilege of building our floats here, and the individuals will be held accountable. It is imperative that everyone working on floats and visiting your areas understand the policies set forth, especially the no smoking and cleaning up of our areas and the restrooms.
