Thursday evening at 6.30 Pleasant Grove will play Spanish Span-ish Forte; at 7:30 Geneva will play Provo; at 8:30 Vineyard will In the opinion of many spectators spec-tators the float "The Desert Blossoms" entered in the Centennial Cen-tennial parades by the Hansen Brothers, turkey and feed dealers, deal-ers, was the most beautiful among a galaxy of outstanding entries. Worked out In white and gold, the center of the float held a huge rose shaped horn of plenty from which flowed hundreds of heads of golden grain in the aweiu. un wie norn perched a seagull keeping careful watch over the grain. An arch decorated with wheat heads formed the rear of the float and from it swung two rose shaped baskets and on the front were two roses. Children formed form-ed the center of the flowers. The floor was made of wheat. Mrs. Cecil P. Hansen, wife of one of the sponsors, in white velvet and feathers, stood tipping up the horn of plenty. Diane, Connie and Sheila Hansen, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil P. Hansen, and Claudia Hansen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wen dell P. Hansen, the other sponsor,' and Andrea D. Pulley were the children in the rose cups. The float is 35 feet long, 22 feet wide, and 13 feet high. White feathers and wheat were the ma terials used. The feathers were obtained from 2000 wfeite Holland Hol-land turkeys from northern Utah processed at the Hansen plant last winter. The turkeys were dry picked and only the soft fluffy feathers saved. Six people were used sorting feathers and one sewing feathers on muslin for three weeks to form the apron of the float. It took two weeks to complete the remainder. The idea was originated by Mrs. Ruth P. Hansen, mother of the men, and Miss Mary Pulley, their aunt. The work was all done by the family. The float will appear in both parades on American Fork Steel Day.
