Lenny and I attended the La Canada Flintridge Float Assn. Bingo BBQ along with probably a couple hundred others. The food was GREAT! There were TONS Bingo games/prizes, raffle prizes and door prizes! And there were a whole bunch of really nice people to talk to! I highly recommend that if you haven't attend this event in the past, do it next year! |

winner
of the
Animation
Trophy!!!
WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!
Congratulations
to the
La
Canada Flintridge Trournamet of Roses Association
for
winning the Animation Trophy
for
the
SECOND
YEAR IN A ROW!!!
Here's the letter I received from Jim Misamore at 6:58AM on New Years Day morning!!!
| To all:
I'm still stunned. I never believed it was possible. It must have been the pneumatically controlled xylophone mallets hitting the xylophone bars in exact sync with the song "Celebration." I'm going to have to research this, but I don't think any float has won Animation two years in a row....and to think it was a comparatively low budget float (and a "Self built") that did it. I bet some of the big budget floats are not going to believe it either! Hurray for Dustin Crumb (the Chief Design Eng.) and Randy Bartos, the JPL Engineer that designed the pneumatic circuit and programed the movement to sync with the music!! Jim |

| On Sunday, December
31, 2006, Lenny and I joined the happy crowd at the float site to watch
the float pull out into the street with animation running for the Tournament
judges. The weather was fabulous with bright sun and beautiful blue
sky! Our float looked like a winner with the bright colors practically
glowing in the sun and the numerous animations running. It's cute
and the coverage is great, and the theme . . . what can I say? I
just can't wait to see which trophy we win!!!
(I KNOW I've got a lot of photos! I can't help myself . . . sorry.) Here's something else
I'm trying. Don't know if it will work . . . feel free to let me
know if there is a problem. These links SHOULD lead to youtube.com
where I've uploaded some short video clips of the float animation:
