Why the red truck works for holiday parades

Businesses use it as a rolling brand piece with a magnetic-free banner on the stake sides. Schools, dance studios, churches and youth sports leagues use it to carry a small group. Tampa's Christmas parades, Santa Fest style events, Main Street holiday parades in Plant City, Lakeland, Dunedin and Safety Harbor: we have a trailer and we travel.
