Did I ever tell you I won a first place ribbon for a parade

(full title)
Did I ever tell you I won a first place ribbon for a parade entrée?

I was just looking at some of the photos of a parade I entered and decided to make a new album on photobucket. I only have one photo in it right now - it is of one of the 5 pieces I made. Cheers

What's pushing us apart isn't loneliness what's holding us together isn't love. Listen to the man who's been touched all his life yes he's the one they call the fool. Where is that savoir of the sidewalk life and the road that takes us to the crusades? We still got along way to go yes we still got a along way to go.

Going to add that this piece was finished with beach sand (it was a sand castle day parade) It was also mechanical – the caracal at the top turned and the flag pole swayed. There was also a mechanical doll in a handle bar basket that played a drum. Cheers!

I now have 15 photos in my 1991 parade album. I received a first place ribbon for the most original entrée.

That's pretty cool, Nanoose, but I don't think it'll fly. :jestercolor:

When I was a kid, my boy scout troop marched in a parade down the main street of my hometown. We walked about 1 mile of the parade route. I'd never walked so far in my life. I thought I was going to die!
