We’re Number One!!!

THANK YOU to our volunteers, student riders, parents and friends who joined us for a beautiful sunny day celebrating Elk Grove’s western heritage. We were proud to share the stage with many wonderful local organizations, schools and even animals, but of course we happen to think our parade entry was the best. But don’t take our word for it – not only did we win first place in our division but this year we actually won the Barbara McDaniel Award for Best Parade Float!

In keeping with our parade theme ‘Oh, to be 10 again’, our “Dave’s Candy Shoppe” float highlighted favorite memories of childhood: bubbles, wheels and hula hoops, riding horses and of course most of all CANDY! Our sandwich-board wearing friends and cowgirls on skates gave parade viewers about 150 pounds of candy! Without the help of a small army of dedicated and creative individuals, we could not have participated in this year’s festival. Our deepest gratitude goes out to all of you – you know who you are! Stay tuned; more pictures coming soon.
