South Pasadena CA Petal Pushers And

The So Pas Rose Parade Float 2015

 

South Pasadena 2015 Rose Parade Float - Still WinningAnother visit to a location just behind the South Pasadena War Memorial Building revealed more progress on the city’s self-built float entry for the 126th Annual Tournament of Roses Parade on Thursday, January 1, 2015.   South Pasadena has the oldest self-built float in the parade(and one of only seven self-built floats in the parade out of 41 entries this year).   

 

As I have written previously, the all-volunteer effort by South Pasadena(locally known as South Pas and not a part of the city of Pasadena) is just another effort by the city known for its small town appeal.   

 

South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade FloatThis year’s float is entitled “Still Winning” and is a part of the overall parade them “Inspiring Stories”.   

 

South Pasadena’s entry was chosen as part of a city-wide contest and is a salute to the Los Angeles Pink Dragons -- an all-women group of breast cancer survivors who have successfully competed in dragon boat racing.  The float will proudly feature members of the team.   

 

On Monday, flowers were being put in vials with water(for preservation) that will be placed on the float for the five-and-one-half mile journey down Colorado Boulevard.   See my previous posts for additional information and photos South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade South Pasadena Rose Parade Float - Still Winning2015 Float Still Winning and South Pasadena CA Tournament of Roses Parade Float Update Jan 01, 2015.

Hi Michael, excellent reporting on the South Pasadena California Petal Pushers. I have to ask you, did you just walk in and photograph the float and its progress or is this open to the public? Regardless, I really enjoy getting up close to the Rose Parade Float.

Michael, like Noah, I'm wondering if you just walk up and take great photos to share with us. Being a volunteer at one of world's most famous events is rewarding.

Noah Seidenberg and Beth Atalay --- the South Pasadena Tournament of Roses decorating site is behind the South Pasadena War Memorial Building and I was able to just walk up and take photos.  The professionally designed and corporate sponsored floats are decorated at one of three different locations and a fee is charged for entry.  I hope to stop by one of those sites today and take some photos(time permitting).

Michael-I will have to plan to watch this parade on TV I have watched it in years past but not in a while. It is time in 2015. Now before this the only thing I knew petal pushers were the old term for capri pants.

Michael, it must be as much fun for those who participate in the parade as it is for those who are watching it.  There is a lot of thought, preparation and work that goes into such a float.
