Let’s go behind the bloom- at the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena California. The history of the Roses Parade is interesting and colorful- the Parade was established – to share with America the Bounty of California with the Rest of the Nation – that is inspired by the Parade on New Year’s Day… showcasing the amazing weather, and the amazing variety of Agriculture exclusive to California.
We take you behind the scenes with Kit Kat Clocks- an Iconic American Made Mid-Century Clock- and CalPoly University- in both cases- their Floats are Created Exclusively from ONLY California Flowers, Foliage and Produce… it’s a monumental feat.
I also talk to the California Secretary of Agriculture- about the important message – behind certifying these 2 Floats as “California Grown”… I also speak with Mike Mellano Sr… a prominent California Flower Farmer that received the honor to ride aboard the Kit Kat Float…
This is a fun take behind the scenes- at the Iconic Rose Parade- where you will see the incredible variety of Flowers… All California Grown- and the pride that these Beautiful Flowers bring to the Historic Tournament of Roses Parade!
