And, in some ways the 40th president was the quintessential Californian. "That's one of the things that the foundation had in mind," Harmsen said. "His roots were here and the Rose Parade is a present to the country and the world - and a great way to kick off the celebration of the centennial of Reagan's birth in February."
Sarah Palin is rumored to be ridding on that float
Wath how the MSM will ignore this.
The last great President. His leadership is sorely missed.
Have to see that.
I wish I could see this float up close. I was lucky to attend a post-parade "viewing" of the Rose Parade floats a few years ago... these floats are incredible works of art! Seeing them in person gave me a far greater appreciation for the intricate work involved... each one is really spectacular.
Thanks, La Enchiladita for the heads up on this one!
Excerpt from article:
The 55-foot-long float is designed by Fiesta of Irwindale. It features a 26-foot-high bald eagle and 11 black-and-white photographs of Reagan, which will be decorated with onion seeds, poppy seeds and crushed sweet rice.
"President Reagan always believed America's best days were ahead. At a time when many Americans look forward to a New Year with a similar optimism and pride, we at the Reagan Foundation are honored to be invited to participate in the 122nd Rose Parade," said Stewart McLaurin, executive director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation.
The Simi Valley-based Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library will be in partnership with Jelly Belly as sponsors of the float, officials said.
Behold a President that loved his country, her heritage, and her military!!

Reagan was truly the greatest President in my lifetime.
It would be wonderful to believe as Reagan did that America’s best days are ahead. Maybe we need to go thru the present period like the alcoholic who needs to hit bottom before rebounding. But right now it sure does feel like we’re at the bottom with no place to go but up.
