    [News] Profiteering from Pride?

    If you want a "float" you have to pay for it-but you always did, its easy enough just to join in the parade on foot. A friend wanted to have a float last year, but the cost of entry, insurance, having to have someone walking by each of the wheels just priced it out of reach.
