This was one of my all time favorites. Another artist and I built the 1" scale model and the carpenters built the float from it as if it were the bible. It was a giant rolling puppet stage that would be absolutely packed with puppeteers. Big Bird up on top with little characters popping out of the nest, Snuffuluffugus taking up most of the TV side outrigger and Oscar, dead center of the forward staging deck. It was wonderful. We used to refer to such units as "Golden age of float building floats".
