Taylorsville Dayzz Presidential Award Winner

What a fun day beginning with the Taylorsville Dayzz Parade, and we were awarded the Presidential Award! The Float looked gorgeous, and afterward it was brought to the Ridgecrest building where we oohed and ahhhed over its beauty!

Approaching the last stretch of the parade

Everything's working fine! Our pioneers are Chaylee Aubrey and Asher Sorensen

Kelsey Rowley is the Mermaid of the Taylorsville Parade.

Our remote control turtle--masterminded by Brother Tolman and a definite star of the parade! Kids loved him, and in this picture being expertly 'wrangled' by President Call.

Grease and Glitter

Our first parade--call it a 'trial run"-- was scheduled for Saturday June 18, in the South Jordan City Celebration. Everything was ready--ship, fish, octopus, animation, mermaid, pioneers--you name it and it was ready. Unless you named the carburetor. While it worked great yesterday, today it was not working at all. Neighborhood mechanics were frantically called but the first appearance of our float will now be next Saturday in the Taylorsville Dayzz Parade. Don't miss it!

Miss Octopus tipped up for access to the engine

Now can you put it back together???

Despite the carb problems it is looking gorgeous...
