(Clearwisdom.net) The annual Fall Festival is one of the major events of Blue Springs, Missouri and the parade is the most important activity of the festival. This year, the theme of the parade was "Fairytales Can Come True."
By 9:00 a.m. on September 17, 2005, the streets of Blue Springs were already crowded with excited spectators. It took some effort for practitioners arriving from Kansas City to make it through the crowds to reach the assembly area.
The carefully decorated Falun Gong float was like a fresh green lotus pond, with green leaves surrounding the lotus flowers. Lovely little girls sat in the center of the pink lotus flower, accompanied by the music "Pudu" and "Jishi." The green banner had white words on it, "Falun Dafa" and "Truthfulness Compassion Tolerance."
Spectators exclaimed, "It is amazing!" "Wow, it is beautiful..." People were eager to take the flyers passed out by practitioners.
