By Melissa Sweet 

The story of Tony Sarg, an inventive child who built marionettes. Macy's asked him to make puppets for their windows, which led to him making puppets for a new parade they were holding.  In an attempt to create puppets that everyone would be able to see he created the idea of the floats we see in the current parades. 

Very fun and creative story, inspires creativity and creation. Would be a great story to inspire students.
