This past Tuesday afternoon my friend Marja, Emma, Braige, Brogan and myself went to the Sandy Expo Center to see the exhibition of all of the floats for the annual Days of 47 Parade. Greg joined us after he got off of work. I had heard on the news that they had all of the floats on display for a free viewing and thought that I could not pass up the opportunity to have an up close look at these amazing floats.
The floats were incredible and the amount of detail is beyond words. Many of the exhibits had drawing boards that showed how the idea for the floats began and the process of making the float into these wonderful works of art. When we arrived we were handed a ballot for each of us. We were given the responsibility of choosing one float as our favorite. That was not an easy decision. All of them were simply amazing.
After we had seen all of the floats we realized that there were some people doing free face painting for the kids, so we stayed another 45 minutes in line waiting for our turn. All in all it was a very fun afternoon and something that I think I will look forward to attending annually as a new tradition!
