St. Lawrence County Housing Council in Canton, New York, kicked off NeighborWorks Week with a prize winning float in their town's annual Dairy Princess Parade.

This was the third consecutive first place finish for the Housing Council, whose 2009 float featured a pirate ship and cheese. St. Lawrence County's Commissioner of Community Development Keith Zimmerman led the way dressed as "Captain Curd," with the NeighborWorks Northeast District's own Judith Rose (pictured) right behind dressed as a NeighborWorks Gouda.

In fact the entire float was covered with NeighborWorks is a Gouda signs, which in cheese talk, means "NeighborWorks is Good."
