It’s a Westport tradition: Every year, the Y’s Men win Westport’s Memorial Day “Best Float” prize.
They didn’t last year — but there was a good reason.
The parade was canceled, due to rain.
Yesterday and today — despite predictions of more bad weather — they headed to Vince Penna’s garage, and took last year’s float out of mothballs.
Here’s a sneak preview.

To see the real thing, head to the parade on Monday.
Or — if it comes to that — the one in 2018.
