Fruits and veggies added to Fla. parade

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A variety of fruits and vegetables have been added to the Orlando parade that is traditionally a celebration of all things citrus.

Green peppers, watermelons and cucumbers will be on the floats during the annual parade through downtown Orlando Saturday.

The parade, previously known as the Citrus Parade, is now being called the Fresh From Florida Parade for the first time.

The change comes courtesy of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which paid $325,000 for a yearlong sponsorship of the parade.
