No, the Petal Pushers are assigned to 14 different floats for the 2001 parade. Phoenix Decorating, the float builder, makes a donation towards the Lutheran Hour float in proportion to the amount of work done by the Petal Pushers. It is important for you to sign in so we get credit for your labor. The 2001 float entry is the Lutheran Laymen's League's 51 st Rose Parade entry. It is the only float bringing the Word of God to the 500 million people around the world watching the parade.
Float building is a year-round project.
However, decorating begins in December by applying the seeds, bark, and dried flowers. The week after Christmas is when the flowers and other vegetation are applied with the most fragile being put on just before the final judging on New Year's Eve. Due to insurance regulations, volunteers must be 13 years old during decorating week, however there is no age limit. On Dry Work days, workers may be as young as 12 if chaperoned. People of all ages and skills are needed.
