The show was edited down by my great grandfather, who may have even been involved with its creation. He also had a box of photos from the 1958 Rose Bowl Parade.
Following is the introductory paragraph from the slide show script:
SEVENTIETH ANNUAL TOURNAMENT OF ROSES PARADE
Theme: ADVENTURES IN FLOWERS
1959
The Rose Parade is California's special greeting to the New Year. These slides will give you a finer view of floats than anyone of the millions of spectators had who lined the streets. The Kodachrome originals were chosen from the very best exposures taken by eight photographers stationed on press stands along the parade. We know that these slides, in all the magnificent color of California's most beautiful flowers and matchless sunshine will bring you endless delight.
Each float has a theme, prepared by various Socal cities, companies, and other countries.
Notable exclusions from great-grandpa's version include:
Adventures in Desert Living
Polynesian Potpurri
Adventures in Christian Love
Big pictures. It may take a moment to load.
