49 reactions · 14 shares | Today’s #RoseParadeRewind takes us back to the 1898 Tournament of Roses. This footage is the OLDEST video in our archives to date. Not many organizations have the longevity and multi-year history like that of the Tournament of Roses.  Take note of the horse-drawn floral floats. It was not until the 31st Rose Parade in 1920 in which motor-driven floats, powered by electric and gasoline engines, took over completely.  | Rose Parade | Facebook
