You could also check local ice-a-cream shops to see if you could get a sponsorship for it and advertise for them during spring/summer parades. You could even make a little train of banana split boats to follow it. Good eye to spot those!
Or it could be like the Pink Panther! You could don a raincoat, hat, gloves and mustache in a parade as you play the role of Peter Sellers, Chief Inspector Jaques Clousseau! I think you have lots of possibilities with that new gem.

Unfortunately the paint is not nearly as decent as the pictures make it appear to be. For one thing, it is brush painted, there are numerous brush marks in the paint. It is also already flaking off in multiple areas. I do suppose i could strip everything down and give it a good proper coat of pink and white and really make it nice. For now I want to see if i can remove the current paint and re-expose the yellow beneath.
