Colonial Hills Elementary and Worthington Industries Float

Colonial Hills Elementary School and Worthington Industries, both established in the year 1955, partnered to create an "Ice Cream Float" float for Worthington's Bicentennial Parade which was held on July 5, 2003. Riders and walkers dressed in 1950's attire, danced to period jukebox music and spun hula-hoops.
