The Pin Cushion decided to enter a float in the Corn Palace Rodeo parade this year, which had an overall theme of America's 250th birthday. The gals featured the Quilts of Valor program with a couple of veterans even riding on the float. Our group was delighted to lend them some quilts to use. It won 1st place in the "retail" entries.
From the front you can see one of our local veterans. Two more were on the other side.
One side showed off several quilts. I love the big banner they created above the quilts down the whole length of the trailer.
The other side looks just as good.
From the back this gorgeous quilt really looks good. I think this one was made by a shop employee last year. It was the perfect end cap for the float. These ladies did a wonderful job with the float - and with their prize winning painted windows earlier in the week.
What a great float especially with the addition of the vets!
