Parade Float27 June 2012 On July 6, 2012, the Calgary Tower debuted a float in the highly celebrated Stampede Parade. This prestigious opportunity was only granted to a handful of new applicants, as many local institutions sought to take part in the Stampede’s 100th anniversary celebrations. The float was designed and manufactured locally by ArtsASTRAY and F&D Scene Changes. The float’s contemporary design captures a likeness of the Tower all the way down to such unique characteristics as the cauldron and glass floor. Local artist Rachel Nickerson was on the float during the Parade creating a work of art that is now up for auction. The float was brought to life thanks in part to sponsorship from ATCO Gas, BURNCO Rock Products Ltd, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, PK Sound, and Flagworks. |
