The reality is they try to do it when school is out for summer. The kids can come and not miss school. Our local school are back to school for a while already.
Back in the stone ages of 1996 for the Oklahoma Parade, we did it in September to be a bit cooler weather. That was back when the regions did 99% of the work, and national just handled the insurance and the money. Now national does 99% of the work and get 1% of the help from the regions. The Oklahoma Parade is known as the Parade without kids.
I was the registrar for the 96 parade. We had a guy walk up that was still in uniform. He had been on an airplane coming back from the Iraq, serving the country in a war. He lived in the area, and has a Porsche, and is a member of PCA and wanted to sign up on the spot. I said sure, I signed him up, and took his check.
PCA national was furious. They said that has never been done before. I pointed at my name badge and said see that, It says registrar. I registered him. Here is the his check, he has a name badge and he is participating. Get over it.
