The parade guest stared Eddie Duchin, Jane Pickens (who sang The Star-Spangled Banner), and a variety of Wizard of Oz floats and was notable for being the first to use utility vehicles to pull the floats instead of horses. Interestingly enough, the parade was also the first to be broadcast on television as well.[1]
