Roeslein created yet again another amazing parade float entry, but this time with a very patriotic flair to celebrate America’s 250th. For the sixth year in a row, their entry in the Red Bud Firemen’s Picnic Parade took first place honors. Like last year, they spread their entry across two trailers. This year, the first trailer had a banner that stated “Let Freedom Ring” and featured a giant custom fabricated American eagle perched atop of the Liberty Bell. While it may have been too bright out to notice during the parade, the eagle’s eyes were also lit by amber colored LED lights. The back of the first trailer also noted that Roeslein was celebrating 20 years in Red Bud. The second trailer featured some favorites from previous Roeslein parade entries – a giant can fountain pouring water into a cup, can cooler launchers and a bubble/foam blower. And of course, employees were walking alongside both trailers passing out cans of water. For more pictures from the parade,
