A parade was held as part of the celebrations of Palmerston North achieving city status. It was declared the eighth city in New Zealand on 1 August 1930, but celebrations were delayed until better weather in November and combined with the New Zealand and Empire Industries Week. This Collinson and Cunningham float was partially or wholly designed by Joan Klee (2nd on float) who was a designer/ window dresser for Collinson and Cunningham.
