America on Parade

 

On Saturday, after visiting Shenandoah Caverns, we went on to visit an extraordinary exhibition within the same complex, housed in a very large warehouse.

 

The owner of the Caverns and entertainment complex had run a family business in Maryland which specialized in the staging of Inauguration and other Parades.

 

It is difficult to appreciate the size of these incredible creations - each had been made for a parade in the 1980's or 1990's.  Many were self propelling on their own lorry bases.

 

Many of the  structures had moving parts such as this Bald Eagle with flapping wings.

 

The polar bears were covered in a fur fabric and were fully animated.

 

 

 

 

It would have been good to see some of these on parade..
