📣PARADE PEOPLE, WE NEED YOU!📣

Carmen and Becky are out here practicing their parade wave and candy tossing… in a ROLLING OFFICE CHAIR. If that’s not parade dedication, we don’t know what is!

Bring a car, truck, motorcycle, semi, hotwheels, or even your office chair (we clearly have no standards at this point 🤣)!

THERE’S STILL TIME TO JOIN THE FUN!

We have 13 floats registered and are shooting for 40. Help us out!

Thing 1 & Thing 2 are hard at work designing their Halloween Parade float…

Well… mostly hard at work. 😂

Today’s very important float-building strategy session included a bubble break 🫧 Because obviously creativity flows better with bubbles. But we also used the opportunity to practice our official parade wave 👋👋 because you know… gotta be prepared to look fabulous while waving at the crowd!

#1 Float plans are happening.
#2 Bubbles were deployed.
#3 Parade waves were perfected.
#4 Chaos is basically guaranteed.

Now we need to know… WHAT ABOUT YOU?!

Have you planned your float?
Have you signed up to "PARTY IN THE PARADE", with us?!

Come join the fun! The more floats, the more chaos… I mean FUN! 😂

Thing 1 & Thing 2 are ready. Are YOU?

Thing 1 & Thing 2:
Out here doing their own thing because apparently being supervised is overrated. 😂
Chaos has officially left the building. 💀🎃

IT’S FRIDAY, PEOPLE. And apparently that means it’s time to start plotting… 👀

We’re sketching out Halloween parade float ideas because we’re not saying we NEED that 🏆 BEST FLOAT TROPHY… but we’re also not saying we don’t. 😂

The creativity is brewing. The chaos is coming. The competition is getting spooky. 👻🎃

ONLY 3 HALLOWEEN COSTUME POP-UPS LEFT!
10/4 • 10/11 • 10/18
12:00–2:00 PM
1106 Broadway Street

Come find a costume, add some flair to your parade look, and create the float that everyone talks about. 😎

Who’s bringing their A-game to the parade?! 🏆👀

Day 2.......are you prepared Becky?

10/01/2026

🎃👻 IT’S SPOOKY MONTH!👻🎃

October 1st and Carmen is already trick-or-treating at Becky’s office. 😂🍬

Becky: “It’s going to be a long month.”

Carmen: Challenge accepted. 😈🎃

Now we’re getting everything ready for the Halloween Parade—floats, costumes, chaos, and ALL the spooky fun! 🧡🖤

🚨 We’re still looking for parade float participants! 🚨
The more floats, the more fun! 🎃👻

Buckle up, Becky… it’s only Day 1.😂
