AmericaJR’s Gloria and Jerome Rzucidlo were LIVE along Woodward Avenue in Detroit for an early look at floats for America’s Thanksgiving Parade. The night before the parade is a popular time for people to stop by and check out the floats before they make their way down Woodward on Thanksgiving morning. Celebrating Smiles of Miles, the Parade features a star-studded line-up of one-a-kind floats, colorful costumes, high soaring balloons, thunderous marching bands, and dancing elves!! Below are some fun facts about this year’s Parade! An amazing list of sponsors will cruise Woodward with 28 FLOATS: including six new designs by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Central Michigan University, General Motors, Henry Ford Health, Hudson-Webber Foundation, and The Skillman Foundation. Soaring high will be SIX BALLOONS!!
