Let's get the ball rolling…. How's this, I think I covered everything  This years first annual Springfield Thanksgiving Parade is highlighted by Mr. Burns Nuclear Power Plant Float. Featuring the Power Plant's mascot, Blinky, and a few handpicked performers to entertain the crowd on the float, Fat Tony playing his violin, Willie on the bagpipes, and Selma hula dancing. The float is being pulled by a black limo, and being trailed by the Duff Party Bus Float. That was fast - good work. We don't even have the badge loaded yet, but I'll get you the first one. |

Thanks  Once I had an idea for the layout, the rest was simple. No hurry on the badge, I'm not going anywhere  |

Does the Duff blimp count as a balloon? I don't have any of the balloons, and have put the barriers out, but they don't look great

Thank you Chrisp530! I was inspired by the annual parade that goes through Pasadena. You always know when the parade is coming because a week or two before, they start to construct the tiered benches. As well, there usually is a Christmas float, usually it is the last float and has Santa on it. I made do with the Christmas tree. Almost put a reindeer in place of the angel, but I just like how the angel looked better. Duff Dawg I would put more floats but anymore would go out of the shot. You'll better understand once you go to put one together, then you can talk to me about putting more floats in. |

Fraggle, there were two problems with your instructions. First you said road should be three pavement wide; but examples showed two. And you weren't clear on how to place barriers. I took several images, to cover each scenario since I am blowing this away in morning. This is my best. And yes, my float is celebrating the Puritan lifestyle.
