Anoka Royalty on Pumpkin Parade Float

Creation Date

1980

Description

Anoka Halloween royalty on the black, orange, and green pumpkin patch parade float constructed in 1980. Miss Anoka Holly Lysdahl, and Anoka Princesses Karen Kind and Karen George are waving to parade attendees.
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!"
