This year was literally a team effort in every sense of the word.

This float could not have been done without the determination and dedication of everyone involved.

We would like to mention that Steve and Monique Lopez bought, paid for, and contributed a brand new sound system, amplifier and speakers to the crew, just so we would finally have our own decent music for the parade, without having to borrow or rent it. A special thanks to Steve and Monique.

We would also like to point out that while Tim and Stacy unselfishly volunteered to airbrush all the paint and make up for all the Na’vi in the crew, we were so pressed for time, they didn’t even get a chance to finish their own makeup, and as a result, missed the parade, while making sure everyone else was finished and ready to go. What an outstanding sacrifice they paid to ensure the success of everyone else on the team. Our highest salute and accolades go to Tim and Stacy Donald. They truly are one of the Omaticaya people!

Please join us again next year for "Aquatic Frolic", we look forward to seeing you.
