GREEN BAY - The 27th annual downtown Green Bay Holiday Parade is this Saturday and Mayor Jim Schmitt will be riding on a unique float.

He'll be traveling the parade route on a miniature Zippin Pippin roller coaster.

The float will be 14 feet long and about 15 feet high. Actual cars from the ride are being used on the float as well.

Organizers say they plan to have Elvis music playing, since the original Pippin was used in Memphis and the legend is Elvis rode on it and liked it.
