Karen George memories: "One notable story is at the first parade, my leg went through the floor of the float. Upon inspection, the pink & purple flower float needed a major overhaul. Father Jim [James George] designed the float to be an eye catching, Halloween themed, easy to store float design. Anoka had a new float reflecting our town's claim as Halloween Capital of the World! The float was rebuilt using Main Motors garage and all 3 crown families [George, Kind, Lysdahl] helped!"
