Nearly every year since 2009 our family has joined with friends and neighbors to enter a float into the Town of Superior’s 4th of July parade and Pancake Breakfast. What started on a lark with our 6 chickens and a goat float has become a long standing tradition. 2016 we built a to scale replica of the Millennium Falcon. It was our most ambitious build and was done to honor dear friends who had recently lost their son Ethan, a lover of all things Star Wars.
