Queens bedazzle Peach Festival and the "Yeller Mall" Ms. Whirled Peas makes Gaffney parade "peachy keen" In spite of BSTQ being stuck in the hospital for gall bladder surgery, the Gaffney Peach Festival parade brought out a fabulous float of Queens, with guests Ms. Whirled Peas and Coffee Goddess. The large and happy crowds reached for green Mardi gras beads while the Queens rode a special version of the float, decked out with "peas". After a high speed death-defying float ride to the Prime Outlets "Yeller Mall", as the locals call it, where the Queens acquired a new Security Stud, they went over to cheer on the Boss Queen at Mary Black Hospital.
