Downtown Farmington
Founders Festival Parade Float

July 16, 2005

Another great parade in Downtown Farmington.  The parade began with a light sprinkling which soon ended.  Some, participants near the end of the parade got drenched during a downpour.  That just adds to the memory.  

The Farmington Downtown Development Authority's Downtown Farmington float received the Farmington Area Founders Festival Grand Marshal Trophy acknowledging the float with best use of theme.

The float was groovin' to the '60s with Petula Clark singing her smash hit, "Downtown".  Along for the ride were Pet's dancing backup singers, a Farmington Public Safety Department dispatcher, hippies, a mod girl and everyone's favorite, Austin Powers.  Austin was playin' it up with the parade-goers.
Yeah, baby.  Yeah!
