Seeking storage for parade float

Utah Dixie Detachment #1270 is seeking enclosed storage/garage space for its parade float - like a landscape trailer.  It would take up one garage space.  It does need to be enclosed and would be retrieved for parades a few times a year.  Anyone with a space available, please contact Larry Mineer by e-mailing larry at constructionmonitor dot com (you know how to type that e-address).
