Wow, after 4 weeks of hard
work our American Association of University
Women-Petaluma Branch's 2nd effort at float-making
for the annual Butter and Eggs Day Parade really
paid off. This year's theme was "That's
Entertainment" and
it was natural to select a movie shot mainly
in town as our float's topic.
While the Rose Parade folks don't have much
to fear from our talent, our take off on American
Graffiti (Petaluma AAUW Graffiti) was well
received by the audience. Standing 6 1/2 feet
tall and 11 feet from nose to tail, the Cow
(finally named "Pamela" - an honor,
I'm sure...) made quite a statement. The eggs
with graffiti writing about our club's activities
over the last 50 years, records with clever
titles, and musical notes helped complete the
parade theme of a 50's movie and the backdrop
of a stylized Petaluma skyline set the scene.
Members of the junior high aged softball team
that we sponsor were on the float and they
enjoyed tossing bubble gum to the kids, as
did two of the high school young women from
our Sister-to-Sister Summit. |
