The Rose Parade 2009
Each year, Florabundance supplies cut flowers for some of the floats in the annual New Year’s Day Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California. We wish to express our appreciation to our customers, Cal-Poly Pomona and Charisma Floats, for their trust in our ability to assist in making their involvement in the parade a success.
According Larry Crain Productions and Charisma floats & designs the Tournament of Roses Parade’s have always been the major focal point of its’ international appeal. They have evolved from static floral displays in the early years to exotic, animated floral creations.
Crain believes that the Tournament of Roses Parade is first and foremost a floral pageant. Therefore each float must be carefully designed, engineered, and decorated for floral display. Animation, music, and special effects are used to enhance the entry’s artistic floral focus and its theme.
