Description |
Delbert & Irene with children on Swiss Days Float - This picture shows Delbert and Irene on a float that has been made for the Swiss Days parade. It is covered in a green paper-like stuff that is supposed to look like grass. Then there are artificial geraniums placed at various points on the float. There is a papier mache goat with a bell around its neck and at the very back, behind Delbert, is a reproduction of a Swiss Chalet. The little girl with blonde hair is Jennifer Reusser, Christopher Reusser, her brother, is seated next to her and the little girl with dark hair is Paulette Parr. They are all wearing traditional Swiss clothing. The little boy behind the goat is Nathan Reusser, another brother. Delbert is holding an alphorn and Irene is seated next to it. They are all wearing traditional Swiss costume, as well. They are parked waiting for the parade to start in the parking lot at Smith Brothers Furniture factory. Beyond the float can be seen the trailers located at the trailer park across the street from the factory. If you look closely you can also see an old red fire engine next to the float. |
