One of the most memorable moments for float designer Guy Horton was at the 2020 float reveal for the Sequim Irrigation Festival royalty. With COVID-19 leading to many events to be canceled, the festival’s board opted to hold a virtual Kickoff Dinner and float reveal, and Horton drove the royalty around the 7 Cedars Casino’s parking lot twice. “They were squealing and laughing and giggling,” Horton said. “It was one of the most memorable moments in all the years doing this.” (Matthew Nash/Olympic Peninsula News Group)
