Scenes from 2006 Parade

Princess Sarra

Lovely Sarra Schlegel, Eatonville's Daffodil Princess, lights up the Queen's Float as she waves to the crowds in Sumner, the third leg of a four-city Daffodil Parade.

Eatonville's Candy Land Float

Eatonville's "Candy Land" won the award for best float among communities under ten thousand. Float leader Dawn Newkirk outfitted seven characters, including King Kandy, Queen Frostine, Princess Lolly, Gramma Nutt, Mister Mint, and two kids. The milk chocolate frosted roof of the gingerbread house was made of brown burlap. Dawn cleverly created the huge ice cream cones using clothes dryer flex hoses. The float also featured a game board (the colorful squares).

And From the Rear

Gingerbread men, lollipops, ice cream cones, candy canes - Eatonville had the sweetest float in this year's parade. Unfortunately the Cruiser band did not appear in Sumner in front of ENN's cameras. The band did not attend the Orting part of the parade either

Candy Land a Crowd Pleaser

King Kandy: Philip Antiquera ( he was the Tin Man last year), Queen Frostine: Chelsea Newkirk (Cowardly Lion last year), Princess Lolly: Cheyenne Splan, Gramma Nutt: Melissa Langston, Mr. Mint: James Nelson. The Kids: Mary Moon; Eric Lay Eric, Mary and Cheyenne were walking way in front of the float and didn't make in the photos.

Dawn Newkirk, a former Daffodil Princess from Eatonville and now the owners of two businesses, has been coordinating the float for eight years. Candy Land won First Place for Communities and Cities Under 10,000.

Candy Land and King Kandy

Preventing Domestic Abuse

Pierce County's Domestic Violence Hotline entry. The sign says, "Most heroes have a cape, you have a phone line. There's no excuse for domestic violence." The phone number is 253.798.4166.

Part of the Falun Dafa entry included women dancing and twirling lovely pastel umbrellas.

A parade isn't a parade without horses. Some of these beauties were decorated with daffodils.

Another sideline favorite was McDuff the border terrier. He took the excitement, noises and aromas of the parade in stride.

Someone in this unidentified band forgot their uniform, or maybe this member was a last minute fill in.

At the end of the Sumner Parade a bevy of beautiful Daffodil Princesses get to unwind. Here a sister princess primps Eatonville's Sara Schlegel.

Some princesses horse around as they board the official Daffodil Delight bus Orting and for the last leg of a four city parade.

Although the weather was perfect this woman shaded herself from the sun with a colorful umbrella.
