Sierra Madre Rose Float Association Selects 2011 Rose Float Design
The Sierra Madre Rose Float Association has selected “Suenos de California”, designed by member Charles Meier, and has been approved by the Tournament of Roses as Sierra Madre Rose Float Association’s 2011 parade entry.
“Suenos” depicts an early California mission scene including a mission, a fountain, burro & cart. Highlighting the scene will be palms, butterflies and up to four princesses and one male rider. The initial plans call for a large float measuring 55 feet long, 28 feet tall and 18 feet wide with potential animation including moving butterfly wings, rotating cart wheels and/or nodding burro head. Finally, walkers maybe added to accent the float. The float will utilize fresh flowers and dry material to highlight the float details including 11,000 vialed flowers, 8,000 flowers for floral sprays and up to 12,500 orchids to represent bougainvillea vines.
Charles Meier has an outstanding track record of designing award winning floats for the Association including “Bollywood Dreams,” “Valentines Day,” and “Our Wonderful Wistaria.”
The Sierra Madre Rose Float Association received over 33 outstanding designs from the Association volunteers, members and friends.
