Scope and content
Tacoma Real Estate Board float. Waving to the crowds, oars at rest, are members of the Tacoma Real Estate Board participating in the 27th Daffodil Parade on April 9, 1960. The float is passing North Coast Hotel and Eastern Electroplating at 14th & Pacific Avenue. The News Tribune called the float a "Catamaran on a Sea of Daffodils," as sixty thousand daffodils were used for decoration. Entitled "Happi Time," the entry won first prize in the Clubs and Organizations Division. The parade theme in 1960 was "Daffodils Salute Hawaii" in honor of the 50th state; Hawaii Lt. Gov. James K. Kealoha was the parade's grand marshal. (TNT 4-10-60, B-8)
