Every year we go to the parade at garden city center in cranston. Paul Borrelli sponsers the whole event and does and excellent job. There is a swing band for dancers and orchestras for adults and bouncy things for the kids to play in and lots of costume characters. I asked if I could rent one of the Elmo costumes and he said he rents them from Bruna Costumes in Cranston R.I. I remembered them when I was little but I thought they went out of business. He was kind enough to give me their phone number and website and I did end up getting Elmo for my baby's party.
