Good find Joe!! Thanks for the link to the site:

      https://myburbank.com/city-council-approves-burbank-rose-float-design-for-2023-parade/

I've added it as an attachment to preserve that cool picture in case it disappears from the Burbank site:

Sadly, too many web sites rearrange or delete information which breaks links to embedded images like yours. In order to preserve that history, I encourage people to upload the original image and to post a link to the original source. That both preserves the history and promotes the original site. As our site ages (12 years and counting), I am finding more and more broken image links. :(

Back on topic, it looks like the City of Burbank "Adventure Awaits" float won the "Queen's Award for most outstanding presentation of roses":

Personally, I would give it the "U.S. Hawks Award for Most Outstanding Presentation of Hang Gliding in a Rose Parade" (the competition is intense). ;)

Happy New Year!!
