The snow boarding Bull Dogs are really something. They said it was the longest float in the parade and Guiness Book of World Record verified it. KTLA in Los Angeles is having a contest for viewers to vote on the floats. You can log on to their website to vote. What a great way to start the New Year watching the parade Happy New Year everyone ! Luanne ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
