Remember the Foster's Float from the Macy*s Parade? - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Say, remember last year when the Foster's float was in the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day Parade? Well, you can find out how it was created at http://www.macysparade.com, and click on the "Behind The Scenes" link under "Parade Information".

Thanks for the link. There's something to watch for this year. Expect debuts of Jackie Khones, Fluffernutter, and Bloppy Pants at the 2007 Macy*s Thanksgiving Parade.

That's cool. I always thought they had to disassemble the floats to transport them to Manhattan. But *fold* them. I wonder how they do that exactly. The only thing I can think of is how one "folds" a pop up trailer. Interesting.

Still no confirmation that the float will be in this years' parade, too. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Only five more days to go.

Edit: ORD, you got confirmation?? Sweet!

Will they be doing that pants song?

One Radical Dude · 11-18-2007, 11:16 AM

The song mentioned in the press release would be "You're My Best Friend" by Queen. Read all about it here.

Cheese? Singing?! Somewhere, Freddie Mercury is doing backflips six feet under. :lol:

BabyCharmander · 11-18-2007, 04:19 PM

Aaaagh, Cheese is going to sing!? D% THAT's going to be fun...

Still, I'd like to see this one. The float last year was cute. %3 When will they be showing this float? I don't normally watch the parade at all, so...

Do what I did last year; record it and fast-forward through the boring parts until you get to the float.

BabyCharmander · 11-18-2007, 04:53 PM

Agh, but I'll be taping Good Wilt Hunting that day and I only have one VCR that can actually record anything. XD; When does the parade start?

Cassini90125 · 11-18-2007, 07:06 PM

Tape the parade, if you can only tape one. Good Wilt Hunting will be rerun; the parade is a one-shot deal.
