http://web.me.com/davidandora/events/floats.html 2004 year was a reto-futurist theme slightly reminiscent of the Jetsons or Disney’s Tomorrowland. I had found these very cool lift called Ribbonlifts a couple years earlier, and this was a perfect application for them. They lifted our rockets 30 feet off the ground out of an 8” base. At the very least Crobar had the tallest float. 2005 was a beach party theme with a volcano that erupted confetti along the parade route. http://web.me.com/davidandora/events/floats.html#0 eb0c0ccc-95d5-45b3-9b85-7d0cf96d52d9 http://web.me.com/davidandora/events/floats_files/Media/IMG_0027.jpg?derivative=thumb http://web.me.com/davidandora/events/floats_files/Media/IMG_0027.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px;
