This is a very BAD idea. I remember excited children and apparently inebriated adults dashing into the street. On this issue I don’t care what happens in other cities. We care about our children and safety. If parades need free candy to “go up another level” it’s a step I don’t think we should take.

Secondarily , candy wrappers become litter, get into the storm sewer system and then dumped into our precious Big Sioux River.

I wouldn’t want the injury or possible death of a child on my conscience over a piece of candy.

Let’s deal with real issues like climate change and gun safety.

Do we really need all that stupid candy and other things being tossed out? All it's gonna go is create a trash problem that's gonna cost the tax payers to clean up. Hard pass. God forbid a child goes without a bag of candy at a parade.

Nice to hear the Karen's aren't getting their way on this....let the little ones eat a few pieces of candy and carry a balloon to the parade. Im betting the attendance will double
