Everybody loves a parade! 4-H is no exception. At the local level there may be 4-H parades relating to National 4-H Week or the county fair. Community or city parades generated to celebrate the 4th of July, Labor Day, Veteran's Day, Flag Day or other events may often have a 4-H float represented. But, historically, 4-H hasn't shied away from some of the bigger events. 4-H has been represented in the Rose Bowl Parade... and in the Presidential Inaugural Parade.

Perhaps a 4-H float is one visibility area where 4-H'ers can really get creative. They also provide an excellent opportunity for team work in planning the float, building the float... and, perhaps riding on the float. 4-H parades were alive and well over 100 years ago. We expect so long as there will be parades, 4-H will be represented with floats.
