Thanks to Art and Dawes for hosting and to Dave and Debbie for the float. Saturday morning the float was reassembled and we gathered on Midland to await the parade. We had a causality while waiting Tanya Ebersohl fell while skating and got a ride in the E-Squad. But she was smiling when she left! Tanya, hoping you are doing well. The parade went off on time and we managed to give away about 2500 strings of bead! Great Time was had by all!!.
