You have been invited to participate in the B. L. Joyce Parade on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 between 6pm and 10 pm.  Each participant will be required to build a float that is people powered. Floats can be small or large. All floats must be pulled or pushed by people power only. Your float can be made from anything that rolls from a wagon, a wheel barrel, bicycle or anything you can conceive. They can be covered with paper, flowers or anything you can glue, tape or paste. Each float should have a theme that you choose.
