Citizens, Groups Back Drive To Insure Float For Pasadena's Parade
A Madison led effort to fund a Wisconsin float in the Rose Bowl parade gained momentum as sponsors promised a parade entry. Will Holmes and John Zimbrock said they could raise $10,000 for the float to appear in Pasadena on New Year’s Day, just before Wisconsin plays USC in the Rose Bowl. The Milwaukee Sentinel reported it was too late for Wisconsin to enter a float, but parade officials later said they had only learned of state agencies not entering. The Rose Bowl Fund and Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce launched appeals, with the Madison Chamber reporting $3,500 already raised.
