This year's float title was "Toys of Yesteryear"

The toy duck, with one of several wooden building blocks

Toy soldier towers alongside Kersting Court bell tower

Closer shot with Hotel Shirley and San Gabriel Mountains as backdrop

The soldiers head, legs and arms moved and the horse's wheels turned

More blocks, the duck, a horse, and a volunteer's back

The horse and duck again, with some of that fabulous Rose Parade weather accenting the San Gabriels

Rear rider's compartment

The driver's compartment.  Both compartments are hidden during the parade

Another block, and a close-up of the duck

A paddle-ball on a block

Ball and jacks on a block, that's part of a yo-yo in the foreground

Rear view featured a penguin, a centipede, the Assn.'s acronym,a giraffe, and a better shot of the yo-yo

That's a sling-shot

A spinning top and a fast-food joint (Jack in the box, get it?)

 

A stuffed bear and a soup-can stilt

A bag of marbles

A turtle on a block
