The melodious music "Pudu" and graceful exercise demonstration won viewers' acclaim. Practitioners heard, "Wonderful!" and "Thank you for your coming!"

Some Chinese people among the spectators waved their hands at the practitioners and smiled, indicating they were moved by the grace of Falun Dafa.

People were pleased to accept the truth-clarification literature. Some wanted to learn Falun Gong and left their phone numbers.

When the practitioners' float passed by the announcer's stage, the host warmly introduced Falun Dafa and praised their entry, saying, "Wonderful!" People sitting on the stage applauded warmly and waved at the practitioners. The parade organizer presented them with an award for second place in the Most Welcome category.

At the end of the procession, Congressman Akin came to talk with the practitioners and had a group photo taken with them.
