Scope and content
Children drive this daffodil "carriage" down Pacific Ave. in the 1950 Daffodil Parade, holding onto streamers attached to an giant ornamental bag of flour labelled with the float's sponsor Centennial Flouring Mills Company. Early invitations went out to area businesses and organizations from the Board of Directors of the Daffodil Festival asking them to sponsor floats in the parade. The parade itself had a very small budget and relied on donations, contributions and volunteer workers.
