Though American Celebration On Parade was closed for the season, the Giant Cootie is very cute. Needed a break from a long journey.

The Cootie is part of the Caverns' companion attraction, American Celebration on Parade. It's a vintage float from Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The celebrity who rode it was kid actor Mason Reese, star of several hard-to-forget 1970s commercials.
