1987
Back when Disneyland went all out for a parade...
sometimes they missed the mark, but
they didn't hold anything back!

The opening unit was a "push" unit
No motor on this baby!

The midway float
with Farris wheel... sitting in the seats ,
they look like 'Whatnots" [background muppetts]

John Deere sponsored tractors for the parade...
They were celebrating their 150th Anniversary
[I loved the pigs hats for this parade]

Pluto pulling his sheep down the street...
The Animals that were in the parade,
where all the blue ribbon winners from
all the County Fairs in California.

And what Parade would be complete without Dancing Veggies!!!
[in the background you'll see Dumbo's Firehouse float
Painted red and used in this parade as a barn with Clara Cluck in the top of it]![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4jQHFQ9KeFCQT8-3zOGU7w3Su_hw1DUR7nGNurQepmC_I8tUAfTTrBVLhYLDw44eAlwCcr71CbT1gfQAw3tJAwBH3RRmR6XrBNQ7Cj5fZD-DVpHk0579fUDuU86JIzZNzeW9sRt3z1pEA/s320/11+State+Fair+87+Veggies.jpg)
