"You're not going to be able to see this much longer," comments La Canada Flintridge Tournament of Roses Association Director of Float Development Pam Wiedenbeck.

What she's displaying, as we take a virtual tour of LCFTRA's current work site, is the substructure of heir 2024 Rose Parade® float, "Flower Power". Pam is pointing out the inner compartments where the float crew will sit, on New Year's Day.

This is where the magic happens.

And like much of what goes on behind the scenes, it will seem to happen effortlessly.

With just about two months to go till "Flower Power" appears at the corner of Colorado and Orange Grove, Pam says the crew are on-schedule with construction.

Next will come painting, then decorating, and moving the float under the bridge in December--as well as a second "test drive" for Tournament of Roses®officials.

Our coverage of LCFTRA's creation of their 2024 parade entry started in March of this year.

Since then, their creative milestones have included: selecting a name, deciding on the music that will accompany the animation, and their first float test drive, or T1.

On this installment, we visited, virtually, with Pam at the float site--and had the opportunity to see, firsthand, where "Flower Power" is currently--and what needs to happen next!

Meanwhile, if you're in the La Canada-Flintidge area this upcoming Saturday, November 4th, LCFTRA would like to invite you to their "Wine and Roses" fundraiser. This is going to be an informal event--and Sixties outfits are recommended! "Wine and Roses" happens from 4 to 7 pm at La Canada Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy; here's the link for information.
