FLOAT - continued from page 1

There was one unfortunate incident during the parade, however. 
Due to the parade itself exceeding broadcast television’s two hour 
window, the very last scheduled float in the parade from Western 
Asset, advanced itself in the lineup which caused the Sierra Madre 
entry and the Women’s Equestrian Group to miss most of the national 
broadcasts.

 

Incidentally, Paradiso Floats, a new float company that counts 
Charles Meier (who designed many of Sierra Madre’s award winners) 
among its principals, won the Directors’ Award for Outstanding 
Artistic Merit in Design and Floral Presentation for the 
City of San Gabriel’s Centennial entry, Celebrating our Journey.
