Pageantry, Protest and Perfect Pasadena Weather Dominate 2012 Rose Parade By Terry Miller

T

housands of people braved the 70-80 degree winter heat of Pasadena to see the TOR Parade on Januray 2 – one of the warmest Parade Days in recent memory. Those who camped out all night were in for mild weather thoroughout the night with a very quick warm up about half an hour into the parade. The weather added a sense of fun and festivity to flaots that particulary catered to water sports such as Natural Balance whose surfing bulldogs who seemed to have fun fun fun ‘til their handler took their surfboad away. The theme of the Parade this year was Just Imagine and the majority of the 44 floats in this year’s parade did the theme justice although one veteran parade-goer did point out that the theme did seem a little vague. With that in mind, there seemed like there was less animation and special effects this year than in years past. However, the crowd of untold thousands who lined the The South Pasadena float won the award for the most “outstanding display of fantasy and imagination”. -Photos by Terry Miller
