Another 1st Place Float
« on: March 10, 2013, 11:57:34 am »
So for the third (3) year in a row we entered a float with my Grandson Gage in the 2013 Florida Strawberry Festival Baby Parade. I am very proud to say that we have taken 1st Place again this year. It was a combined effort of about four family members from design to actual building the float.
 
Also 90% of the float was built from recycled materials. We spent a whole $50 on the float. There is a wanted poster on the front for the Strawberry Queen. It reads, Wanted for stealing my heart. $2500 reward.

If you type in strawberrys in the search field on the forum you should see my post from last year on the other 1st place float we built.

Great job Russ. Does he need a set of handcuffs? I have a few extra pairs. By the way who is the bandit in the backround?
