PICTURES FROM PREVIOUS PARADES


Last years parade was a blast.  We did a giant American flag covered in petals.  It turned out great.

Now picture a giant guitar covered in petals........what do you think?  Tell us if you think a giant guitar would be good to go along with the theme of this year's parade.

ROCK N RODEO

The theme for this year's Gilbert Days Parade is Rock N Rodeo.  We are very excited that the parade will be happening this year.  Watson Flowers has been involved in parades in the Mesa/Gilbert area for over 30 consecutive years!  We really wouldn't know what to do with ourselves without a parade!

As usual, descendants of Great Grandma Irene Watson will be riding on the float and also walking alongside it handing out free flowers.  It is so much fun to participate and to hand out flowers to people along the parade.  All the women and children love getting flowers.  Even the men will ask for the flowers! 
(Just goes to show you that nearly everyone likes flowers....even if they say otherwise)

We've generated some ideas for the float.  Right now we may do a giant guitar covered in flower petals.  But we'll see.

REALITY SHOW ABOUT FLOWERS?

It looks like TLC will be airing a reality show involving a florist.  The famous floral designer Jeff Leatham will be staring in "Uncut with Jeff Leatham."  This show will be airing Nov 4th.

Wish we could have our own reality show.......then again, maybe not.
