One year in the ancient past, Cardozorama entered a float in Picnic Day that consisted of a flatbed pickup with a vertical pole. Oh yeah, and they hired an exotic dancer to entertain using this set. Needless to say Cardozorama had a bit of a much-deserved image problem for several decades, but in the last decade, it has greatly improved its image.
The name is in honor of Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo.
