Home for the holidays

The float entry from Downey for this year's Rose Parade is on its way to Pasadena. The float is entitled "Home for The Holidays" and includes a horse-drawn sled, a house, a bridge over a stream, and lots of birds.

The float is designed and built each year by the Downey Rose Float Association and many volunteers.

As always, the flowers are beautiful and accent the theme of the float.

This pillar of the bridge uses potatoes to simulate the stone construction. It's amazing how inventive the designers are to make living things look like non-living things.

Watch the Rose parade and see the Downey entry win another award.
