I have some photos from Macy's Thanksgiving Parade thanks to J.C., Manuel's cousin. Here you can see all I have so far.

Just to give you short remainder. Up with People Cast C 2007 was part of big Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York and we were marching for 2.5 miles on most popular streets in New York like 5th Avenue, Broadway street etc. Also, we were performing for national television NBC.
I was flag holder and I was proudly walking in New York with Croatian flag and in Croatian national costume.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade was started in 1924 and has continued as a highly-celebrated national kick off to the holiday season every year since. In 2005, more than 2.5 million people lined the streets to watch the parade, and another 44 million watched the balloons, floats, bands and performers on television. This year, more than 4000 volunteers will participate in the 2 ˝ mile parade.
