Object Description
Photograph of parade float passing by as crowd looks on and stands before buildings, one of which has an American flag hanging from it.

On top of the base is a small brown stand with a large brown bear effigy on top of it. Standing on the opposite end of the parade are two people standing before the bear effigy aiming firearms at it, themselves wearing traditional Greek costumes. Below these two people are small pillars holding up figures of white benches.
