3 members from the Star Garrison participated with us
Memorable moments.. It was COLD... And Little Rascals fell behind and we ended up sprinting the last 2 miles. And the damage to the float after Caesar and Zeus.
The float is plywood, Styrofoam and is shaped with sheetrock mud. Painted gray and black with some "blaster damage" in various places. It also sways if driven over 10 miles per hour (very scary).
