Happy New Year from Pasadena

Rose Parade – 123rd – couldn’t take place on a more beautiful morning. Sunny weather, high 70s, greeted visitors from around the world and the Pasadena locals and made for a spectacular parade route!

Excitement was building from stealth fighters flying overhead to the Pasadena police motorcycles getting the parade goers excited about the upcoming entertainment. High spirits, many smiles and a great atmosphere greeted all.

Poop Picker Uppers — These guys follow the horse troupes and ensure the street is clean afterwards. They seem to be enjoying all the attention and have a fun attitude.
