While I was visiting my Mom & Barb for Thanksgiving, I stopped by the Valley Water Company's lot in my old home town, to see how things were progressing with the City of La Canada-Flintridge Rose Float.
There, tucked away behind all the plumbing fixtures it sits, awaiting the hundreds of volunteers that will turn it into the masterpiece that will trundle down Orange Grove and Colorado Boulevards this coming New Years Day.
Even on this early Sunday morning, just after Thanksgiving, a volunteer (in red sweatshirt), could be seen welding on the infrastructure.
I am always amazed at how much is accomplished in so little time. With just over 5 weeks until the parade, the float is still very much just a skeleton. Hard to imagine that it will be finished on time.
All Hail, Dino-Soar!
The small red spot on this picture is the guy welding. Gives you some perspective on how large these floats really are.
Good Luck La Canada-Flintridge!
And Happy New Year!
