Description
This float, called "The Girl of the Golden West," was described as representing the sunshine, glory and beauty of California. The float featured 18,000 marigolds and 6,000 long stem roses. A woman, Lou Theurkauf, personified an early Native American princess and Rose Henery was the titular "girl" of the golden west. There is a house and crowds of onlookers in the background.
