Preparing for the weekend

Today I painted a background and made a collage of a horse.

The tail didn't fit on the page!
The black wrapping paper was $1 at Target.

Tomorrow night is the start of the Guadalupe festival.
The church will be open 24 hours. People will bring flowers.
There will be services at 12 am and 5 am.
There will be food and music and dancing.

On Saturday is the parade, rain or shine.
There will be about 8 floats, which will be produced by different groups at the church.

Most of the floats have a specific theme from the story of the Guadalupe apparition.

The floats are built on rented U-Haul trailers.

No one wants to rent them too long, so they start building almost the day before!
