2025 Makersmiths' Parade Float

07/06/2025 10:21 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)


This year Lane Waldren, Isaac Bowser, Tom Hill, Dave and Diane Painter, KidWind participant, Natalie Johnson, created the Makersmiths float using four handcarts. The theme of the parade was Let Freedom Ring. The handcarts represented things we can make at Makersmiths (Tom’s CNC sign and Lane’s CosPlay costumes) and we also had a cart that represented the parade’s theme, Let Freedom Ring. KidWind team members Max and Nick Burrus and Syndney Clough and Truett De Luise and their coach, Diane Painter, walked along with the float carrying a KidWind banner.

It is always so much fun to see what Makersmiths members can do to a float to make it festive. Please let Diane.Painter@makersmiths.org if you would like to adopt a float for next year’s 2026 4th of July parade.
