Tournament of Roses Parade- float preview

Does your family want a sneak peak of the 2008 Tournament of Roses Parade? If you are in Southern California this weekend and are looking for something fun to do-look no further!! You can experience the magic of the Rose Parade before New Year's Day.

There are four locations in the Pasadena general area where you can take a close up look at the majestic floats in their final stages. You will be able to see what it takes to put together a float and watch as volunteers apply the finishing touches to the breathtaking floats.

I've always wanted to do this and will be taking the kiddos this weekend to catch a glimpse. I hope to see you there!!!
