To All New Members
should participate in working on the floats. It’s a great way to meet
other members and build friendships.
The Float Committee
has a Chairperson, Co-Chairs and Float Captains. They start early in the season and
schedule work days to prepare your floats for the upcoming Mardi Gras
Parades. Our floats are stored behind the Southern Extrusions building on
S. Stillman St. off of Navy Blvd.
Southern Extrusions
3401 W. Navy Blvd.
Located 3/10 mi. West of the W. St intersection. Turn left (South) on S.
Stillman St., enter the gate on SW corner of fenced in back lot.
The Float Committee (with lots of help) creates the float designs and oversees production and
safety and are responsible for float maintenance and repairs. If you like to
build, paint or just be creative, this is a great way to help your Krewe!

Notes
We are only pulling ONE float in this parade (the court float). The 2012 Big Top Warriors Court has first priority for positions on
the float, followed by the Court Support Team and then any BOG members who choose to ride.
Next on the priority list will be any KOW Members who are UNABLE to walk
due to health or other physical limitations.
After that it's first come first load, with preference given to members
who have actively participated on any Krewe Committee such as Ball,
Membership, Kidz, PR, Float work, Design, etc. There will be plenty of
room for walkers if the float fills up.

Parade
Notes
*
The Court float is reserved for the 2012 Court, the Court Support
Team and BOG. No other riders, but anyone can walk beside this
float.
At the end of the parade, the Kidz float will stop
on Main St. near the foot of Spring St. to allow parents to gather
ALL children, and then the float will head back to our float parking
area.
The Court and Krewe floats will NOT return to the float parking
area. They will discharge all passengers on Main St. near the foot
of Spring St. and then after we clean up, secure all stereo
equipment, beer, beads, decorations, personal items, etc., the
floats will continue on to the Pier parking lot on Pensacola Bch. to
be in position for us to prep/reload the next morning.
Be mindful of your transportation needs at the end of this parade.
Most will want to park somewhere near Spring St. prior to parade
start.
