 | Although several hundred die-hard fans camped out overnight along the Rose Parade route, crowds were thin and front row spots remained open a half-hour before start time as many people remained pinned to building walls to escape the rain. |
| The Sweepstakes award – the parade's top honor for the float with the "most beautiful entry with outstanding floral presentation and design" – went, fittingly, to the float sponsored by the FTD flower delivery company. |
| Hundreds of plastic ponchos for band musicians and parade volunteers were ordered, horses were fitted with skid-resistant shoes, and float-builders rolled out sheets of plastic to protect orchids and other delicate flowers. |
