WE WERE A LONG PARADE WITHIN THE HELLDORADO PARADE: When the Las Vegas Railroad Society float moved slowly forward within the Helldorado parade, accompanied by a marching supporting airline pilot in the lead; dozens of supporting cheerleaders in railroad uniforms, red bandanas & railroad hats from Harney Middle School; supporting cheerleaders in red white & blue uniforms from Cram Middle School; a supporting hot pink show girl on a red sports car; the supporting local Pigeon Club and a pick up truck with railroad friends in railroad uniform, this parade within the Helldorado Parade absolutely turned heads, to say the least!
,
ADULT AUDIENCE CHEERING: People left & right alongside 4th Street cheered and applauded, with thumbs up gestures pointing to the railroad theme float, it was a brief connection from heart to heart between the audience and the LV Railroad Society! After the parade people called all excited, us asking when we will open the doors?! Our community is ready for this....
,
CHILDREN AUDIENCE POINTING: Children were stunned and stared at the float with their mouth open and then jumped for joy, screaming about what they just had discovered!
,
JUDGES ALMOST SPEECHLESS: Helldorado Parade judges shared the public's opinion & voted in favor of the LVRRS float design to be the first in place for CREATIVENESS, and we are indeed honored!
