Hi Mike…here is a video of the float that my Rotary Club had in our town’s Christmas Parade last year. Just as the parade was starting, the snow started coming down…it was like being in a giant snow globe…and somebody kept shaking it up! The photo shows our float at about the 1/2 way point…almost Norman Rockwell worthy. And by the time we finished the parade…about 2 inches of powdery snow had fallen. The train was a Lionel Polar Express G Scale…battery operated…and it was still running strong at the end…in 2 inches of snow…pretty amazing!
Really fun along the parade route…was hearing the kids yelling “it’s a train…look, it’s a train”!!!
Getting a float ready for this year’s parade…and yup…that train will be the centerpiece again…🚂🎅🏻🎄
