Brightly colored parade float contains several whimsical images. A brown cello has black human arms which wear white wrist cuffs. The blue top and neck of the cello morph into a bird's craning neck and head. A blue globe with gold lines is painted in a sky motif on top and a deep blue at bottom. There are birds and clouds at top, and large green leaves around the bottom. A red rectangular structure has airplane wings and propellers large purple leaves around its bottom. A green chicken sits on top of the red box and a tiger lunges out from the rear. An American flag tops the globe, and each piece is linked by a long green hose-like object.
