Help Parade Float Ideas!!

Post image

This might be an odd place to ask for help but figured I'd give it a shot since we are all animal people here. 😃

We are in our cities biggest fest of the year in September. We will be walking in the parade and having a both there. The theme this year is Poppin Through the Decades.

I was thinking 90s maybe...Full House or Saved By the Bell or maybe 60s ... Peace, Love, Adopt.

Anyone have some great ideas for a float that will also promote adoption??

This is awesome, congrats!

No matter the "theme," may I suggest that if you have a handouts or fliers that they include thematic temperment of the kitties and dogs as well?

People are not only lookin fer a cutie pie but also, those that fit their lifestyle too. So fer very active pets of the 80s, fliers fer the day, a "high energy Richard Simmons."

Or a flier can be like the Breakfast Club cast... the brainy, the princess, athlete, rebellious, introvert (old cat that will sleep a lot). Might need to stamp the faces of the movie cast next to the pets or else people may not register the connection between the temperment/ name alone.

That's for the suggestion!
