Greg 's truck pit
The shoe was a big hit in Palm Springs

İmage

Here is a pic of it folded up, we raised and lowered it 14 time in the parade from 14 foot tall to 19foot 8 inches. with a push of a button and 15 seconds. the silver lamay flags were on a separate off-parallel machine. so they tucked down as the shoe collapsed. I am looking for some video of the raise and lowering. .







İmage

we had 40 members march with 8 foot umbrellas and the two motorhomes were packed with military members forced behind tinted glass by the same people who ask them for freedom and protection.
