It was an amazing Float! The Northern Motor Inn really showed what can be done with a little imagination and effort. The moment we saw it, as the line up to start the parade was forming, we decided to feature it on our front page. The smoke, the air horn, the sound track and even an oiler running back and forth ensuring the squeaky wheels got the grease. The Northern Motor Inn deserved this overall "Best Float Award."
The full parade can be watched by following the links
contained in this Parade Story. It is interesting how the pictures we selected to feature on this initial parade story were all winners; selected by the Judges as the best floats.
