Mardi Gras Float Work Session #4

  • 01/27/2024
  • 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
  • 958 Douglas Ave. in Dunedin.

  

Help build this year’s Mardi Gras float!


Our theme this year is "The Wizard of Odd." 

We’ll put our own twist on this classic story.


The float will include an amazing Emerald Castle along with the Land of the East where the Munchkins and Lollipop Kids live. Dorothy and Toto, the Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Lion will be there along with Flying Monkeys, Munchkins and Glenda, the good witch!


There will be work sessions every weekend ahead of the parade on Sat., Feb. 10. You don't need to sign up, just show up.


Work Session #4

The work plan includes:

  • Constructing the drawbridges for the Emerald castle and Witch's castle.
  • Continuing construction on the yellow brick road.
  • Painting and assembling the poppies, hollyhocks, bamboo stems and PVC leaves; attaching lollipops to bamboo poles.
  • Painting Dorothy's house and adding waxed paper window panes.
  • Other tasks as needed.
