Falun Gong practitioners in Colorado also participated in this grand parade. Their procession featured exercise demonstration on the float, waist drum troupe and fan dance. Their performance won round upon round of warm applause from the spectators. This was the second time the citizens of Greeley invited Falun Gong practitioners to attend their celebrations. While looking at practitioners' exercise demonstration on the float, some people could not help copying the movements. Even the staff members who organized the parade also snatched a little leisure from their busy task to copy the movements.

Prior to the parade, the former U.S. Congressman of Colorado and current candidate for U.S. Senator, Bob Schaffer talked with practitioners to learn the truth about Falun Dafa. He also took a photo with practitioners. After the parade, two western practitioners held a seminar in the Greeley public library to introduce Falun Dafa and teach the exercises.
