Volunteering for the Portland Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade
June 5th, 2009 by Allison George
Are you going to the Grand Floral Parade on Saturday, or watching it on television perhaps? If so, look very, very carefully for the green trim along the bottom of the St. Mary’s Academy float. It will surely be some of the finest tree branch artistry you’ll ever see- especially the front corner on the passenger side which- ahem- just so happened to be the section I worked on. O.k., o.k., it was a very small section and some of my coworker friends from the WCVA stayed longer volunteering as float decorators than I did. I’m sure their branch work is top-notch too.
Heft those tree trimmings Heather!
Make sure to cheer loudly for any Washington County representation in the parade: Tualatin High School Dance Team, Sunset High School, Washington County Fair & Rodeo Queen Melissa Weimar, and the Washington County Sheriff’s Posse. Speaking of posses and horses- cheer even louder for the volunteers on scooper duty!
