ROSE PARADE

[China Expat]

The 135th Rose Parade will roll through Pasadena, CA at 8 am Monday. Look for the cute float from La Canada Flintridge; my husband and I have been working on this float as volunteers for months! It is gorgeous with the flowers on. At the time of this writing, 7:45 pm Sunday, it is sloooooooly making its way to the staging area! My school is also represented on the float. I am so honored to have been a part of the float! By the way...it is freezing here, and we saw thousands of people lining the street (Colorado Blvd) to stake out their claim all night long. Yikes.

So much fun (and hard work) to work on a float, isn't it?

I'm always amazed how the flowers are kept fresh looking during the hours and days of assembly. Great parade, every year.

I have been watching this every year since I was little. The floats are always amazing and also like the different groups of riders.

We can also get this on a cable channel as well. We have Verizon and it is on Cowboy TV. Could be different with other providers. An hour before at 10 am EST is a behind the scenes pre show we always enjoy.

The float was so cute @China Expat. Especially loved the potato brick wall. Looks like it took a lot of work. Congrats on the Mayors Award.

Thank you! That wall was created with 950 pounds of potatoes!

I love raccoons, so I found it super cute!

Didn't watch it on TV although I suppose I can find replays of it all over. I attended once and it was fun but the weather was cold and miserable. Had grandstand seats, but walked past the street level and it looked like a disaster area - even before the parade started. Obviously there had been people in sleeping bags overnight. I get that alcohol is illegal but I'm sure it's being consumed. There was confetti and more silly string than I'd seen in a long time. Some even brought patio heaters to stay warm. I heard cleanup takes a while, but it brings a ton of business to the city. We went to a McDonald's which had no open dining room nor open restrooms. They had employees outside to take orders and the only option was one of three extra value meals. It might have been cash only and orders were taken on paper since they didn't have registers outside.
