the grand marshall for the 2009 rose parade was actress cloris leachman, famous for starring in many different roles in film, theater, and television (including the beavis and butt-head movie???).
here she rides in a flower decked horse drawn carriage - a somewhat modest means of transportation compared to the rest of the parade.

I am impressed with this beautiful team of horses. I wish we still lived in those days when horses were supreme. I was born and lived through that period and saw them be replaced with tractors, trucks and cars. What a shame it is.
Have you seen my new blogs?
Abe Lincoln Blogs and also look at Abraham Lincoln's Blog
it's true. what happened to horses?
All I got to see was the back of Cloris's head. Oh well...
One the traditions I truly appreciate about the Tournament of Roses are the horses. However, they were a huge contributor to smell and mess in the cities during the late 19th century.
I love the romance and beauty of the horses but historians write of a pretty "pungent" period during the growth of our bigger cities.
