How To Make a Generic Parade

Our town has a yearly parade, like most good American towns do. Last year, the town parade's theme was "You Might Be a Redneck If..."

This produced some hilarity in the parade participants. For instance, the town veterinary clinic ran a float titled "...Your Veterinarian Is Also Your Taxidermist" (which they are).

Anyway, this year, they've now released the parade details including the theme for the parade. I guess that whoever came up with last year's theme was out of town when they decided on this one, because it's about as generic as you can get:

"Old Values and New Ideas"

How lame is THAT? Comon!

So, our animal rescue group is working out what our float will be. Like last year, it will likely involve my pickup truck, but this time we have time to plan it out, so it won't just be a bunch of people and dogs in and around my pickup. :)

Here are some of the ideas so far:
Noah's Ark on a trailer with a bunch of animals surrounding/in it.
Pro: Fits with the theme and lets us showcase some adoptable animals
Con: We don't have a boat and someone suggested throwing horse potatoes as candy.

Actually, that's the only idea so far. Got any of your own? Let me know.
