Rain Bird, the leading manufacturer and provider of irrigation products
and services, is giving Rose Parade fans a ‘real time’ behind-the-scenes
look at the making of its 2009 Rose Parade float entry, Entertaining
Expedition, through Rain Bird’s Rose Parade Minute video

will chronicle the seldom seen side of the Rose Parade by focusing on
the personalities and activities that make Rose Parade Decorators’ Week
an experience like none other.
“The parade itself is the culmination of all the long days and nights
spent by Rain Bird volunteers transforming a barren structure into a
work of art during the week leading up to parade day,” said Rain Bird’s
Director of Corporate Marketing, Dave Johnson. “This web video series
aims to give Rose Parade fans the opportunity to learn more about the
float preparation process and meet the people who make the New Year’s
Day parade a magnificent tradition each year.”
The exclusive video series will provide viewers with daily glimpses of
the behind-the-scenes action of Rose Parade float decorating as

placing of the first flowers to the start of the parade – the week-long
(December 26 – January 1, 2009) series brings viewers up close and
personal with the story behind the world’s most spectacular parade and
features onsite interviews with float builders, volunteer decorators,
