Everyone Loves a Parade!

The Americana Ballerina Float @ Carriage Trade

Now, with the Americana series, it’s easy to have a parade. Just choose from the full range of American red, white and blue wagons and carts to get your parade off to a great start!

Included in the float series are:

1. Ballerina Parade Float:

The Ballerina Parade Float includes room for a single draft horse, a driver, and on the back of the float, beautifully decorated with red, white, and blue flowers and arches of red roses, a single dancign ballerina pose that seamlessly moves from one pose to another! Touch the wagon to receive a gift of free colored sparkelrs and wings to complete the festive effect, and to turn on or off the dust at the horse’s heels.

Americana Bunneh! Float

2. Bunneh! Parade Float

The Bunneh! Parade float includes room for a single draft horse and driver, and features a pair of adorable sculpted bunnehs sitting up looking for attention. Touch the wagon to turn the ground dust off and on.

Americana Watermelon Float

3. Watermelon Parade Float

The Watermelon Float features room for a single draft horse, a driver, and on the melon, an adorable pose for the watermelon princess (this is the perfect float for a Miss Watermelon contest winner!)  Touch the float to turn the dust on or off.

Also complementing the Americana series are the Americana Circus Wagon and the Americana Hay Ride, all available separately.

Carriage Trade’s Country Faire, July 2, 2011

Come to the Country Faire!

11:00 am – 7:00 pm Country Faire

Join us for a romping old-fashioned Country Faire with games of Skill and Luck; Carousel and Hay Rides, and even an old-fashioned country circus!

We have carnival rides, hay rides, games of skill, lots of prizes, a curiously moving picture device, gypsy fortune telling, and a range of events all day long!

11:00 am, Line up in the market to open the Faire with a rousing parade.  Pull a circus wagon, a hay ride, or prance in formation, there will be lots of opportunities to join the parade! and who doesn’t love a parade!

Then at 12:30 pm, engage in a  version of horsie musical chairs with a cake walk in the Carriage House Yard! Prizes for the winners (they get to pick their cake – filled with goodies!).
At 3:00 pm, get gussied up in a costume and swing by the Big Top.  Enter as a horse or a human; the rules are simple: you must obviously be a horse, or obviously a human, and wearing a costume.  NO: complete avatars masquerading as a costume, and there’s no theme. You just must obviously be a horse…wearing a costume. Or a human, wearing a costume.  Trot on by, slap the board to sign up, and let the voting commence! $500L for best costume in each category, plus ribbons for participants and top 3 winners in each category!

At 5:00 pm, all you  racers out there start your hooves! We’ll be racing melon carts through the streets of Carriage Trade.  We recommend you practice in advance; the course is laid out (it’s  figure-8).  Of course, expect the unexpected that day…you never know when a rock, cat or bump will appear!  Bring your own melon cart, part of the race is filling your cart before the start.  Winners are determined by fastest time with the most melons left in their cart.  We’ll be running in heats of 4, with the best of each heat competing against each other till a winner is chosen.  Trophy for the winner, ribbons for all participants.

Come to the Carnivale!

Finally, at 6:00 pm, join us in the Big Top for the ultimate equestrian circus! Watch the daring do of ponies on swings and the majesty of horses dancing and prancing in Liberty acts.  See the beautiful bareback riders and their gorgeous steeds perform! Grab a balloon or a pair of stilts and join the festivities!  Don’t forget the cotton candy, popcorn or ice cream carts!

Join us on Saturday, July 2nd, 2011 from 11:00 am – 7:00 pm SLT.
