PASADENA, Calif. (KABC) -- As New Year's Day inches closer, volunteers are hustling to deck out their floats for the 124th Rose Parade.
Hundreds of volunteers were expected to fill the Phoenix Decorating Rosemont Pavilion in Pasadena Saturday to glue on tens and thousands of flower petals to the various floats before they roll down the parade route on Monday. This year's theme is "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" which is inspired by Dr. Seuss.
Workers decked out the Donate Life float Saturday morning with flowers of all colors. The float is titled "Journeys of the Heart" and emphasizes an individual's journey surrounding organ donation.
Crew Chief Mike Thompson says his volunteers view decorating the floats as an honor.
"We're very, very blessed. Donate Life has a group of volunteers, that in my opinion, are second to none," Thompson said. "My volunteers are the best. They come here, they love what they're doing. It's a real honor for them to be here."
