Work Table Full of Blenders (HTT)

Work Table Full of Blenders (HTT)
Rather than a dinner table, this is a WORK table. These volunteers are using blenders to crush up flower petals and other botanicals. For dinner? Nope, to use as float decoration for the Pasadena Rose Parade.

The rules of the Parade competition require that all of the float decoration be natural plant products.

During our visit to this float preparation facility, we helped glue pistachio shells to a small part of one float. The amount of manual work required is astounding!

Should you happen to attend, or just watch the Rose Parade on TV, keep in mind the army of volunteers who do these types of jobs, usually in the last 48 hours before the Parade.
