We were able to take a look inside the mansion and get a glimpse of what life was like back when the Wrigley’s owned it as a residence.  It was so beautiful and nicely decorated for the parade theme.  They have special rooms for the Rose Queens, Grand Marshals and for Football.  What a wonderful treat to see!!

Here are the sketch drawings for each float in the parade

Photos of each Grand Marshal

Even our friend Mickey was a Grand Marshal

A small tribute to Grandpa who played at Purdue.  They made it to the Rose Bowl the year after he graduated.  So close!

Here’s Grandpa with Bob Griese (the quarterback he played with during his years at Purdue that took them to the bowl the year later)
