The 1996 Fremont Solstice Parade included a smashing ensemble saluting Lewis Carroll's well-loved Alice stories. Denise Fogelman was our caterpillar, blowing soap bubbles over the crowd from her perch atop the Mushroom float. Photographer Larry Neilson (a/k/a Dr. Schlock) hams it up with Denise and Humpty Dumpty in this posed shot taken after the Parade. The Alice ensemble also included a fantastic Alice float with a telescoping neck which shot her up eight feet after she nibbled one side of the mushroom! Plus the March Hare, Queen of Hearts, the Duchess and her baby, mad croquet players, chess pieces, the Walrus and the Carpenter, the Cheshire Cat, and of course the White Rabbit with his outsize pocket watch.
