But the real highlight? Our team.
From concept to construction, this was a 100% in-house effort—our shop crew even welded together the traditional firepit cooking frame that brought the float to life. Multiple office staff from all departments took turns lending a helping hand.
We’re proud of the recognition, but even more proud of the collaboration it took to make it happen. This float wasn’t just a fun display—it was a symbol of who we are: resourceful, team-driven, and deeply connected to our hometown.
Thank you to the Nezperce community for cheering us on and to the entire Hillco team for coming together to create something unforgettable.
