Christmas Parade
EI Sea Turtle Patrol Float
November 2024

Creating the EI Sea Turtle Patrol float every year for the Thanksgiving parade is great fun. There is no better way to spend the Saturday after Thanksgiving than watching the parade or joining us on the float throwing out candy to spectators. The parade runs along Emerald Drive/Hwy 58, between Black Skimmer and Mangrove Drive.
