SMRFA Princess Coronation Dinner

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

The Sierra Madre Rose Float Association (SMRFA) selected two princesses from eleven candidates and introduced them at Sunday's coronation dinner.  Laurel Cipolla and Gail Gutierrez will represent Sierra Madre in the Tournament of Roses Parade on Jan. 1st. Cipolla, 15, attends Maranatha High School and Gutierrez, 17, is a senior at Alverno High School.  In addition to appearing in the parade, the princesses make numerous public appearances throughout the year, appearing before the City Council, Rotary, the Kiwanis Club, and assisting Santa at Dickens Village.  They also appear in the Fourth of July parade, at SMRFA fundraisers, and assist with the building of the float.

Also vying for the title, were Abigail Boydston, Andja Budincich, Kelly Hartman, Erin Lansdown, Filomena Pirrone, Gillian Rankin, Kate Tribken, Tiffani Trypucko and Cheyenne Wingate.

SMRFA vice-president Don Mills hosted the event, as president Robert Young is traveling in Australia.  Mills introduced the officers and members of the Board of the SMRFA, before turning the floor over to Charles Meier, who has designed the last three award-winning floats for SMRFA, and also designed this year's float.  Meier gave a brief description of this year's float and the background behind it and its design.  After dinner provided by Corfu, Mills introduced all the candidates, and thanked them for trying out, noting that the judges had had a particularly difficult time in selecting the two young women that were ultimately chosen.  Following the introduction, door prizes were handed out.

Donors:  Corfu, Creative Memories, E. Waldo Ward and Son, Mehr Design Studio, Sierra Madre Candy Company, Starbucks Coffee, The Bottle Shop.
