The European Travel Com

The same firm makes floats
for the Washington Cherry
Blossom Festival, decorations
for the inaugural in Washing

throughout the east.
For the past seven summers,
Earl C. Hargrove and his son,
Earl c. jr., have been coming
to this large building to make
and design between 35 and SO
floats for the pageant.
Visitors are welcome $3.50
am. until $50 pm. week days
1t is possible to see how the
float is started and shaped
around the board foundation
The floats are made on a 10
foot vehicle and can be ex-
tended as much as 40 to As

Because the pageant is held
at night, each float must carry
its own generator to supply
lighting.

VIRGINIA BEACH.-Twen-
ty-seven years ago the Civilian
Conservation Corps created
Virginia's Seashore State Park.
Since then, visitors by the
thousands have viewed this
botanical wonderland which
looks, in part, like a Deep
South landscape, a swamp set
ting in Louisiana, Florida or
Georgia.
The 3,400 acre park, with
shore frontage on Chesapeake
Bay, is just south of the United
States Army's Fort Story, on
which stands Cape Henry.
The park is a wilderness area
with go miles of walking trails
open to the public. 1t is a COM
bination Of sand dunes, retreat
ing from the sea in ridges, and
a low-lying swamp area with
500-year-old cypress trees fes-
TONED with Spanish moss
Because the Seashore Park
area is low-lying and partially
protected from winter winds by
the massive old dune lines,
vegetation is found here which
grow only in areas far to the
south.
Within a one-mile area in
side the park may be found
waterlilies, holly trees towering
pines, oaks, yucca and cactus.
