(Clearwisdom.net) On September 17, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners from Colorado took part in a parade held in Federal Heights for the first time. Many local people learned about Falun Dafa through the parade, and also learned about the persecution of innocent Falun Gong practitioners in China. Practitioners presented handmade paper lotus flowers to children, and also asked their parents to help rescue Falun Gong children who are suffering persecution in China. After the parade, Falun Gong's float received the First Prize Trophy.
