    I love this parade!! I wait for it every year. This year, I wasn't able to watch all of it due to other obligations. Was it just me or were they not naming the flowers used on the floats like they usually do? That's my second favorite part next to looking at the work that goes into them. I was watching the one with Al Roker.

    Please note that Al Roker was on the Today Show this morning. Which Al Roker segment was pre-recorded? Could he have flown out there that fast? I doubt it.


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    I watch - on HGTV, with NO commercials

    I love the floats, and the bands, and the horses - everything.

    When I was in high school in RI (back in the dinosaur age), my school was in the parade.
    That was New Years Day 1960 - my brother's senior year at Vets. He didn't play an instrument, but it sure was fun hearing about everything.

    Oh yes, Terry, they most definitely WERE telling the flowers used. One float had 131 different varities of flowers, seed, herbs. Just amazing!

    The Rain Forest float used buffalo grass on the 9 gorillas, it really did seem like there were alive as the grasses were flowing. The folks working that float had renamed it "gorilla grass" during the prep.

    And one float had something which is only grown commerically at ONE farm in the country, in Indiana. They said the location and name of that farm was a highly guarded secret.

    The China float had many things flown in from China AFTER Christmas so it would be fresh.
