Mini Rose Float Keeps Tradition Going During COVID

From the Odd Fellows Rebekahs Rose Float Committee:

Due to the pandemic of 2020, the January 2021 Rose Parade has been canceled. It would not be prudent to allow 700,000 people to congregate in such close proximity. Our next float will appear in the subsequent parade which is scheduled for January 2022. In the meanwhile, to keep our float building skills up-to-date, and in accordance with safe pandemic practices, we have built a masked miniature version of our 2020 float with which we will conduct our own parade with no other entrants and no audience.

  1. That’s great! Keep the spirit alive even with the burden we bare. I’m glad to see government shut downs wont stop Fellows in CA from finding unique ways to share comradery and support!
