Our bank is entering a float in our local Halloween parade. the theme this year is Fairy Tales ( not tails Pirate ) The bank I previously worked for entered a float a couple of years ago which was based on The Old lady who lived in a shoe. We tied in the Home repair to HELOC and Insurance services if I remember correctly. Any suggestions?

Fairy tales? I would like to see something a little scarier. But I guess you are a bank, and that may be a little taboo.

Im afraid of the copyright violations Ron. Thanks for the suggestion. Laughed out loud and had to explain myself on that one!

(we did it in my fraternity the one year. then we regressed a put a pledge in a shopping cart and towed it behind a truck the next year. not as much into the school spirit thing as we were into the partying with eye-catching chicas thing)

We turned port-a-potties into go carts and crashed our parade one year. Made it almost all the way through too, oh well.

How about the 3 little pigs? The house built out of brick had construction financing from your bank. The other two did not.

Or - you could always have a large container filled with rootbeer, ice cream, and your bank's logo. That's a float.....

You could also try Googling for the Pasadena Doo Dah Parade. Those folks always have something wacky going on....

Although I DO miss the Synchronized Briefcase Drill Team. I think it was replaced by the Hibachi Grill Drill Team, but it's not the same.....

Oh - I found some old photos.....
