hey kids! one of the best things about the holidays here in southern california is of course the tournament of roses bowl & parade that takes place every year (the first parade took place in 1890) on new year’s day! (except there’s the ‘never on a sunday’ rule) i’m not a football fan at all but i do love to catch the parade – the floats are always really unique and all painstakingly handmade with tons of flowers, leaves, seeds, etc – plus usually a few celebs stop by! this year american idol runner-up katharine mcphee will be perched atop one of the floats (for lifesource water systems) and she’ll be singing live! (no lip syncing for katharine) special thanks to popbytes reader devan who snapped these pictures of ms. mcphee in rehearsals for the big day! popbytes over & out for now…xxoo!
On Monday, January 1, 2007 at 8 a.m. (PST), millions of spectators from around the world will celebrate the New Year with the 118th Rose Parade themed Our Good Nature. The Rose Parade will once again feature the beautiful pageantry and tradition of magnificent floral floats, high-stepping equestrians and spirited marching bands.
