A look back 25 years ago or a quarter of a century to 1987, when most of us had more hair and much smaller waist lines. These pictures are from Ross’s Retro file from The 1987 Pasadena Rose Parade, Burbank’s entry was ‘International Flight’ the theme of the parade was ‘A World of Wonders’ and the Grand Marshall was Pele. Burbank didn’t walk home with any awards this year as they have in more recent years. This float was again a self built entry and totally completed by volunteers.
