Getting Ready for the Parade

Every year my staff & I decorate our bikes and dress up and participate in the Eugene Celebration Parade. We consider it our civic duty. I have yet to master riding a bicycle, waving to the crowds, and taking photos all at the same time, so I have only these pre parade photos....of us getting ready.

Here's the back of my bicycle. Our "theme" this year was tribal...... I put this Santos figure on the rack on the back of the bike. Decorated her with brown raffia, green amaranth, coconut palm fibre, and clear duct tape. She's beautiful, no?
Becky says I get the immunity necklace for the week. Seriously, would you buy flowers from this woman?

I'd definitely buy flowers from this woman. Tara wearing a mask she made from some ancient faux water lily leaves she found in the basement.

Here's Tara & Lindsey moments before their parade debut -like night & day.

I love this photo of the two of them.

Heading off on a cloudy morning to
pursue our mission - making the world a more beautiful place.

It was a great parade and we thank each and every one of you who came out.
