ID Needed Re Characters in Entertainment
My entry re this is @ http://www.hometalk.com/diy/the-day-after-thanksgiving-2613352
And I have a number of entries with interesting facts re the parade on TLLG's FB Page @ https://www.facebook.com/TheLastLeafGardener
However, in spite of my extensive research, I have been unable to identify some of the characters represented by the balloons and am seeking the assistance of the HT community.
The ones I cannot ID are as follows:
1) A lone fish (images one through eight) featured on TLLG's FB Page @ https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.582320998483944.1073741851.247917655257615&type=1
2) A school of fish (images nine through twelve) featured on TLLG's FB Page @ https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.582320998483944.1073741851.247917655257615&type=1
3) Who is this "dude"? A chef? (images thirteen through sixteen) featured on TLLG's FB Page @ https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.582178458498198.1073741850.247917655257615&type=1
4) A goose? A swan? A duck? (images seventeen through twenty)

Douglas Hunt on Dec 01, 2013Check out the lineup from Macy's here. There have been fish balloons in the parade since the 1940s. Your duck is the Aflac duck. http://social.macys.com/parade/?cm_mmc=VanityUrl-_-parade-_-n-_-n#/lineupHelpful Reply

Jennifer Pospichal on Mar 07, 2014Big Chef Guy was a chocolatier for Lindt's "The Enchanting World of Lindt Chocolate" float. I didn't know about the fish, but I noticed the smallest ones are shaped just like Goldfish Crackers. I Googled "Goldfish Crackers Macy's Parade", and sure enough, that's what they are. The bright yellow-gold fish, and the smallest ones are Goldfish crackers. The big koi from your first pictures-- I don't know. As far as I can tell he's not character-specific, but just a big koi.Helpful Reply
