Press Forward Utah!

We are surrounded by some of the most talented people.
The Wilford Stake's float, headed by the Hardy's, turned out awesome!
Many talented individuals worked on the basic structure before it could be put together.
There were many miracles that occurred to bring the right people together to make this float possible.
Artist and sculptor Paula Graves donated her time to carve several animals and Wilford's face.  Can you believe this fox is carved from upholstery foam?  
Over 250 people worked on the float including most of the youth.
GV1 member, Carol R-G, carved these bunnies from styrofoam.
 Look at all the incredible details!
GV1 member, JoAnn N. spent a lot of time on the float.  She created this yummy lunch.
 This is Wilford Woodruff, Utah's first fly fisherman.


Sue thinks she will have glitter stuck to her for years.
 While at the premier party Doug had to duck under the float several times to help Wilford with his fly rod.
Aaron A. will be driving the float in the parade tomorrow.
 Look at the creative details like this adorable nest of eggs.
 And the weaving on the basket!
  I love the seagull checking things out on top of the house.

Here's the list of all the talented people who made it possible.
Sue also wanted to thank the Droubay's for their help in being parade marshals tomorrow.
Mormon Times did a segment about the parade and the Hardy's were interviewed.  I will post it as soon as the segment is online and once Sue has had a few days to sleep she will be sending me more photos and I will post them here.
