haha possibly if you help enough

once again back with the philadelphia mummers parade building issue. So the idea would be to build a head that would work similar to the head of OZ in Wicked. Only thing is the head would be about 6 foot in size and attached to trussing 20 feet in the air. So the person controlling would have to...
