The Gym Dandies were honored to be one of only 50 parade units selected from over 2400 applicants for the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Parade. The kids in blue from Scarborough, Maine captured international attention as they rode their 6 foot giraffe unicycles past the President of the United States – and made history as the FIRST unicycle unit ever in a Presidential Inaugural Parade!
