Clockwise Top left to right: 

The early formation of the Floats shell (SMRFA). Next, the 
finished product on the parade route (Lee/MVN). Above 
left, T Shirt sales help build the float as volunteers (center) 
begin the process of placing flowers on the float. A quick 
assessment of the process (above right). 

 Volunteers painstakingly attach every seed, every bud, 
every flower (left) and in the end you have the remarkable 
masterpiece that Sierra Madre is so very proud of.

 When it comes to 
producing a winner, it 
truly “takes a village”.

Thanks are also 
extended to the local 
restaurants, businesses 
and organizations that 
provided food for the 
volunteers at the float 
barn.
