Day 3 --Straw flowers galore, glue on individual eucalyptus leaves, using a blender to get yellow straw flowers fine enough to get on a small (properly colored) Zia. Spiders covered with dark mustard seed now have a fuzzy layer of thistle seed. The yucca stalks now have corn husks on them and detail work continues on the signs. More great New Mexico volunteers arrived and the principal food vendor for the float decorators main chef is from New Mexico. The Big Yellow NM Tourism Bus arrived and all the float viewers will be walking right past it. Many of the decorators on the other floats having been asking about New Mexico and places to visit. Every one of the NM Volunteers have been terrific ambassadors for the Land of Enchantment. More Photos...
