The float was designed and put together, including costumes, by the marketing department at HO in Slough. The trailer was taken out of commercial use for the whole of the Carnival season. All the local
Carnivals were entered Rushden, Higham, Irthlingborough,
Raunds, Wellingborough, Kettering, and Northampton
which used to be held on a Thursday evening.
