Riverboat at Endymion

Superdome, New Orleans, LA

Gayle, Breland, Karen and I attended the Endymion Extravaganza last night/this morning. This is one of the signature floats of Endymion. The Riverboat is a fiber optics float that is 150 feet long and carries 200 riders. This is the back of the float showing the paddlewheel. You can see some of the 14,000 people in attendance and some of the beautiful decorations in the background. You can see the entire float here, which includes a live band on the front of the float.


This is a shot in between one of the tandem floats, as you can see the float is beautifully decorated.

Good job Elaine! Last night was SUCH a blast. I could get used to 'dressing up' and you guys sure know how to have a good time!

This is so cool. I still don't understand why you all didn't take a group shot, but this is way excellent.

What a spectacle! It looks like once in a lifetime would be enough. How can you do this once a year?

A very energetic float Elaine. All these shots show what work goes into making this great event. No need to ask if you all had a good time.

That is my favorite float of all. If I'm not wrong, it holds the record for the world's largest float.
