If you’re like me you don’t care a whole lot for the idea of parades.
Sure, they were cool when I was a kid and I didn’t make an allowance so they were my best way to get candy. But unless you’ve got a youngster you take to a parade, I don’t so much understand the excitement.
That said, if I ever went to a parade that wasn’t celebrating a historic achievement or a heroic return home, it’d be the Rose Parade on New Year’s morning.
Unfortunately that parade won’t be happening this year as the Los Angeles Times was first to report the Rose Parade has been canceled for the first time since 1945.
Don’t entirely fret though, the actual Rose Bowl game, this year a College Football Playoff Semi-Final is still scheduled to be played on New Year’s Day.
At least for now.
With it being a year that the College Football Playoff uses Pasadena for one of it’s semi-finals it’s actually a year Notre Dame could possibly end up in the Rose Bowl, something they’ve only done once, way back in 1925.
