The first photo above was submitted by Paul Price. It shows 1971 Grape and Wine Queen Teresa O'Sullivan in the parade.
On the lower right portion of the float is a sign that says "Thorold Winery 1927," and indicates they were winners of "The Finest Port & Sherry" at the World's Fair, Bologna, Italy.
