I always(still do)imagined what it would be like to be in the float building areas.

I always(still do)imagined what it would be like to be in the float building areas.

They will begin, in a few days, to start designing for the 2011 parade.

------------------------

The company I worked for would ask for volunteers to put the the flowers on about the beginning of October. You go to a warehouse and they put you to work either sorting, tearing or pasting flowers, seeds, branches onto the floats, it is supposed to smell really good.

If you suffer from allergies and happen to die from them, onsite? Your body is used as ballast so the float won't tip over in curves. J/K


For a few days you can go to a park and see the floats in person, You do have to pay a fee..

Here's an old, but descriptive obituary about the 'death' of a float!

It was interesting to read about the demise of the floats after the parade is over.
