Rotary Represented by Rose Parade Float

Before the Hawkeyes fell to Stanford in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, the city of Pasadena hosted another little gathering of people at the Annual Rose Parade. A collection of 8 California Rotary clubs gathered volunteers and private donations to build a 35' long float for the parade with a theme of peace.

From the Rotary Rose Parade Float webpage:

This whimsical and lovely garden is a design which blends RI’s 2015-2016 theme “Be A Gift To The World” and the Rose Parade theme of “Find Your Adventure” by focusing on the greatest gift and adventure of all – attaining world peace.

“Find Your Adventure” is a theme that has grown out of a unique partnership between the Pasadena Tournament of Roses and the U.S. National Park Service. The 2016 Rose Parade will help shine light on the centennial celebration of USA national parks.
