Title: Truck Towing Colorful Float in Parade
Description: Color photo of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Macy's storefront can be seen in the background. A yellow and brown International Harvester Scout 4x4 is towing a float for 99x FM radio station. The float features a blue, green, yellow, red, and reflective arch with several similarly colored stars. Women in white dresses are dancing on the front of the float, along with a man in a white suit who has a microphone and stand. Men in white suits with white top hats are on the side of the float. People with either orange or purple colored hair and metallic suits are walking in front of the float, along with an African-American man in a red hat with clothing made of alternating blue and red squares with white dots. Spectators, uniformed police officers, and camera crews can all be seen around the float.
