The theme of the 1932 forty-third annual Rose Parade was "Nations & Games in Flowers," looking forward to the 1932 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles
The "Camp Baldy" float, representing winter sports, was of note because of the snowballs hurled at parade spectators by the float riders. The float is shown at the intersection of Orange Grove Blvd. and Colorado Blvd.
