In our next featured post @denisechips gives us a glimpse of the parade floats being created for the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena! It's such an exciting event that people were camping overnight along the sidewalk to hold their position to watch the Parade!

Thanks socalsteem for the mention. I am so glad I brought my storm trooper outfit on the hike. 😋
Wow! Thanks so much from me and @denisechips. I don't think my wife and I ever made the SoCal Spotlight in the same week before. That is pretty exciting. And nice to see the other picks this week as well. Surfers and Storm Troopers make good company.
So many great posts. I am thrilled with the action this tag is getting.
I'm here to tell you that you are a winner @socalsteemit! In many more ways than one :)
