We are also looking for materials.

Suggestions from How to Build a Parade Float:
"Select a feature item and two or three complementary items. Your
message should be conveyed simply yet powerfully. The sales pitch must
be subtle, with the float leaving both an enchanting memory and a
positive message with the crowd."

"Select one main color and one or two contrasting colors for the
float. Use white trim to separate dark colors."

"Fund raising is great way to cover the costs. This is best done
months in advance through raffles, silent auctions, donations, social
evenings, commercial sponsors, etc."

It is now time to gather up the materials:
   1. Trailer and Tow Vehicle
   2. A Place to Work
   3. Plywood and Lumber
   4. Tools - Skill-saw, jig-saws, hammers and nails, scissors, staple
gun, and staples (1/2" for coroplast signs, 3/8" for twist, 1/4" for
floral sheeting), felt markers, pencils and measuring tapes.
   5. Decorations
   6. Detailed Plan of Action
