The winning float, sponsored by the Pentecostal Church
Jimmy's dragon head. Before the smutty comments start flying, let me just clarify by saying that he made the head of this dragon. The boy loves to craft. Under the dragon head is Peter, Frank's brother.

John Deere tractors; Uncle Sam riding one of them.
Unicorn!
The Ralph's Cafe float. Giant cake!! Giant bellyache!! Mike is the fella on the far end in the chef hat. The people on the floats throw candy to the kids in the audience.
