Statement from the Lawrence Old Fashioned Christmas Parade
RE: Equine Herpesvirus outbreak
Due to the recent outbreak of Equine Herpesvirus we have consulted the Kansas Department of Agriculture Division on Animal Health. Although to date there have been no confirmed cases in Kansas, the Department has suggested the following for our Parade:
We require negative coggins (within 12 months) for every horse and mule going through the parade. Out of state entries must show a current (within 30 days) certificate of veterinary inspection (health papers).
Please provide a copy of your coggins papers for us to keep.
If you wish to cancel, Please inform us as soon as possible.
