All Motorized Vehicles – Are to report to Immaculate Conception (Kosair Shriners report to lot by LaGrange Elementary School).

All Horses and Trailers – Report to Immaculate Conception, you must keep horses in the grassy area until the parade begins. Arrive with “pooper scoopers” to clean up your area.

Directions to Immaculate Conception Catholic Church:

Enter by Following Jefferson Street/Highway 146 and turn down Fourth Street, turn into the parking lot for North Oldham Little League Park (Walsh Park). No entry into the main entrance of Immaculate Catholic Church will be allowed, all traffic needs to enter from the Walsh Park Entrance on 4th St. An alternative to traffic in LaGrange would be to utilize Fendley Mill Road off North HWY 53 and follow it around to 4th Street.
