Float consisting of a semi cab pulling a trailer bed with seated musicians playing instruments. The float banner says, "The Village Square Plaza presents the Little German Band performing at the 4-H Building after the parade." The cab has mud flaps that say, "Figanbaum Trucking Inc., Tripoli, IA"
"The Little German Band was sponsored by the Noddle Corp. of Village Square Mall. The band plays in the parade and at the fairgrounds afterward while brats, beer and pop are sold. The band plays until time for the Festmeister ceremony during Heritagefest. Dick Moeller is 2nd from the left." [The original name of the celebration, Heritagefest, was later changed to Heritage Days due to a conflict with another town's celebration of the same name.
