The Most Pitiful Rose Float Ever - Pasadena, Ca - 1957
Happy New Year!!!!! Hard to believe it’s Two Thousand FOUR!!! We are living beyond the future!!!
For those of you who attended the Rose Parade I certainly hope that you had a GREAT time!
Speaking of the Rose Parade, last week’s SLIDE OF THE WEEK was one of the most unusual Rose Floats ever, “OUR FIRST QUARREL.” This week’s is the most pitiful rose float ever “The Frost That Kills the Pumpkin!” Can you believe it? Those big ears, that big red nose and all those missing teeth? Orange Gerber daisies have never looked SO bad! It was sponsored by the city of Van Nuys in 1957. And they even misspelled Pumpkin!
GOD BLESS AMERICANA and ROSE PARADEIANA
