City of Monroe Prepares for Krewe de Riviere Parade
(Monroe, LA) The City of Monroe is getting ready to let the good times roll with the Krewe de Riviere, but before the fun and revelry begin, we’d like to offer some safety tips and parade-day reminders.
Safety Tips:
• Do not leave children unattended! Designate a meeting place in the event you find yourself accidentally separated from your children or other family members/friends.
• Put an index card with your contact information in your child’s pocket. You can also write that information on your child’s arm. This will help first responders return reunited lost children with their families.
• Do not fight or struggle over beads. • Keep a safe distance from the floats. • Leave valuables at home and secure your vehicles. Keep your keys secured.
• If you’re grilling, do not dump hot coals on the grass. Make sure to extinguish hot coals after grilling.
