South Pasadena CA Tournament of Roses Parade Float Update Jan 01, 2015

 

The countdown to January 1, 2015 is here and it will soon be time for the 126th Annual Tournament of Roses Parade(better known as the Rose Parade).   This is an update of the city of South Pasadena’s entry into the South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade Float Still Winningparade.  While most of the floats are professionally designed and built with corporate sponsorship, the city of South Pasadena is one of seven(and is the oldest) self-built floats in the parade.  

 

Late Sunday evening, I stopped by the float building site to check on progress -- flowers have arrived and volunteers are busy working three shifts to make sure everything is in order for the five-and-one-half-mile trip down Colorado Boulevard this Thursday.   This year’s parade theme is “Inspiring Stories” and South Pasadena’s entry is entitled “Still Winning”.  Riding on the float will be a group of women from throughout Southern California who call South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Float Still Winning 2015themselves the Los Angeles Pink Dragons.  Affectionately known as the Pinks, the women are breast cancer survivors who are also members of an award winning dragon boat team.   

 

Check my previous post to learn about the Los Angeles Pink Dragons and the South Pasadena Tournament of Roses South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade 2015 Float Still Winning.  

 

Looking to volunteer on the South Pasadena float check www.sptor.org for opportunities today, Monday, December 29, 2014 or Tuesday, December, 30, 2014.

Michael, I can't wait to see the completed float in the parade. You have made it feel like I've been a part of watching it come to life. I am sure there are many volunteers working tirelessly to make it all come together.

Hi Michael - thanks for sharing this information about the LA Pink Dragons - courageous group. And did not know that South Pas still built their own floats. That is awesome, I have such great memories from the Rose Parade. I used to go with my family, and then many times more!!! Enjoy it is definitely a Southern California tradition!! I watch it every New Years Day! And this year the U of O Band will be in the parade because they are playing in the Rose Bowl - #GoDucks!!!

Hi Michael, for many years I have heard about the South Pasadena CA Tournament of Roses Parade Float and also seen the Tournament of Roses or parts of it on TV. It is really interesting and motivating to hear about this more in depth from you, a local. It's an event recognized all over the country and we thank you.

Michael, I am so looking forward to the Rose Parade. I was talking to one of my sellers this morning, she told me a story when she was watching the Rose Parade in the living room, her water bed was leaking water from kids jumping on it and she continued watching it, she enjoys it that much.

Michael I believe everyone should do it once in their life time,  i.e.: go to the parade and sit on the cold aluminum benches and get up around 4am to make sure they get there before the roads are shut off:)))) clearly I did it once and will never forget it and I was freezing.....bundled up, while watching the young scantly dressed girls....but it looks so much warmer on TV:))Endre
