PAGE TWO - the floats |
|
A tour trough the 40,000
square foot American Celebration on Parade building |
|
American Celebration on Parade is one of America’s
most unique museums and offers an up-close experience with parade floats
from famous national celebrations including Presidential Inaugural Parades,
the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade and much more. On television
these floats may seem small, but here, they’re larger than life.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime, family-friendly, up-close experience
that’s impossible to describe. There a lot of full-sized parade
floats up close and signs about how they were created.

Karen Duquette loves seahorses. She even has one on her Christmas tree, which is really a "travel tree" and has nothing to do with this exhibit. But that is why she took the selfie shown below. |

Below: The two RV Gypsies got to look inside the Elephant float as per the sign above. It does not look like it would be fun to drive these floats. Vision is very poor. |
