Photograph of a parade float passing down East Colorado Boulevard during the Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena. The float is in the near distance at center. It features an anthropomorphized orange wearing a crown and holding out a basket of oranges. Along the skirt of the float it reads, "[...]DINO NATIONAL ORANGE SHOW." The float is partially obscured at left by the back of a spectator's head. Banners and other regalia hang from a line spanning over the street. Spectators line the opposite side of the street. Across the street at left is "HOWARD AUTOMOBI[...]," and at right is, "[undecipherable] BARBER SHOP."
