This episode explores the intricacies of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade as it approaches its 100th anniversary.
We all have been sleeping on Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade...and that ends today!!! Cross this one off the dream episode bucket list, because we're about to learn the ins and outs of how Macy's puts on these spectaculars on the eve of their 100th parade, right down to wind tunnel testing and the freaking FDNY (!!) I was jaw on the floor this ENTIRE interview, and you will be too. Macy's is basically the closest we'll ever get to a theme park department store and I'm delighted to hear how it all comes together!!! Spend more time with @CarlyeWisel on...
