How Foothill Flowers in GV helps build Rose Parade floats

Since 1998, Todd Johnson of Foothill Flowers in Grass Valley has gone to Pasadena to help decorate Rose Parade floats. I’ve written about this local connection to the world-famous parade previously. Since I was born in Pasadena, I’m proud of it.

Todd works for Fiesta Parade Floats. One of the floats he’ll be working on will be for Paramount Studios, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary. The parade float business is year-round. Here’s a video of from this week:
