Volunteering to be a driver or support person for the float as it travels around the state is a lot of fun. It is such a rush to be walking in the parades and a joy to see how the little children react to the float and the royalty. If you are interested in volunteering to be a driver or support person, please contact Deon Kapetan. She will be happy to explain the responsibilities associated with being a driver or support person.
