2006 Parade
Achenbachs float was in the Ephrata, New Holland, and Manheim parades. The 2006 theme was “Pumpkin Time” and the Float was made up of 2 jumbo pumpkin pies, 2 jumbo pumpkin whoopie pies and 1 jumbo pumpkin bread in the center. Float constructed by David Burkholder and Jessica Green. Great job everyone!
