DECO 
BLITZ!!

Saturday, December 18 
and 

 Sunday, December 19 

 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.

 Free lunch will be provided!

“Sueños de California” has the potential to be one of Sierra 
Madre’s most beautiful floats ever. Because this year’s entry 
is so large, we are hoping to complete at least 35% of 
the decoration before Christmas. To reach this target we 
need your help! 

 We’d love to have you join us any time during the month 
of December to help decorate, but December 18 and 19 are 
days when we especially need all hands on deck. 

 Join us for a Deco Blitz! Help decorate the spires of the 
mission in oatmeal, cinnamon and sesame seed. Create 
bark for palm trees and bougainvillea vines. Experienced 
decorators might detail monarch butterfly wings with intricate 
patterns of orange lentil, rice and strawflower. 

 Work is available for all experience levels, however we 
mainly need volunteers aged 14 and up. All minors must 
have a release form signed by a parent prior to working. 
Release forms are available at the Float Barn. There’s no 
need to call ahead of time unless you are bringing a large 
group (more than 6 people). 

 Float decorating is a lot of fun, but it can be messy so wear 
your grubby clothes. Free lunch will be provided.

 See you at the Blitz! Float Barn 587 E. Sierra Madre Blvd.
