Sometime in the middle of July we went to the Days of '47 Float Preview Party. All of the floats for the parade get taken to the Expo Center where they are on display for the public for a couple of days. It's awesome - no sitting and waiting forever in the heat - see them up close in an air conditioned place. Plus, we got to vote on our favorite!
There were a ton with trains on them this year, which Sammy, of course, loved!
This one was especially cool. The train moved back and forth on it. On one side it came out like this train and on the other side it looked like a FrontRunner train and station.
Sammy even got to drive a train! :)
Here is our stake's final float! We were excited to see the finished product. You can see the girl we worked on in the front.
The wheel on the handcart moved.
And the bride went around in circles, although she was spinning pretty quickly. I think they fixed that for the actual parade. Our float ended up winning an award too - the Sons of the Pioneers award or something like that!
And here is our little section! They added a book to finish off the look.
Lucy liked the giant butterfly on this one. We had a lot of fun. There was a marching band playing and marching all around the expo center and the floats were amazing!
