COMMUNITY CHEERING:
People left & right alongside 4th Street cheered and applauded; thumbs up; pointing to the railroad theme float, it was a brief connection from heart to heart, between parents; community, and the LV Railroad Society!
Trudy Platzer, the LVRRS Founder and President in the front of the float was extremely touched by the positive response of the community! After the parade people called all excited, asking when we will have grand opening!

CHILDREN POINTING:
Children were stunned, reading our banner, analyzing our entire float with their mouth open and then jumped for joy, screaming, looking at their parents, pointing their little fingers all excited toward the train display!
JUDGES RESPONDED ALMOST SPEECHLESS:
