The Float We Built for the Parade that Never Was

Click to enlarge

Thanks to all of the wonderful RFSC skaters and parents who helped to build our fabulous float for Rochesterfest and accompany it to the parade that NEVER happened! WE greatly appreciate all of the time and effort that went into producing such a unique and fun float that really showed our club spirit! Let's hope that Mother Nature cooperates next year and we'll try it again!
