Original Toronto Star caption: A New element in the creation of this year's Santa Claus parade floats was the use of polyurethane foam rather than papier mache. Using the foam was considered a trial run for future parades. It is light and pliable; and parade officials found that it can be fashioned into images that take on what they say is a sculptured effect. Floats are built from color sketches. Blueprints aren't used.
