Bella was excited to be there. “I think it’s great because I get to see all of these floats before anyone else does in the parade,” said Bella.

　　John Piper is the vice president of Macy’s Studio. He said his work is fun all the time. “Or at least it seems that way. It’s a lot of work. All year long, the artists at Macy’s Studio build these floats. We create them from scratch. I have the finest carpenters, metal workers, sculptors, painters and illustrators all cooperating together,” said Piper.

　　The floats were supposed to showcase the parade’s commercial sponsors in time for the start of the Christmas season. But Amy Kule, the event producer, said,“And the floats are used to maintain the beauty and the majesty(庄严) of the parade. A Thanksgiving parade is always about giving back and entertaining. But most importantly, it’s about leaving it for the next generation.”
