We are having our OPEN HOUSE at lab this Saturday, May 4, from 10AM-2PM and you’re invited!!! This is a great opportunity for you to get a tour of our lab. You will also get a sneak peak at what we are working on this part of the year and actually work on things that can be showcased on the new 2014 float!!! Rose Float won the Bob Hope Humor award last year for “Tuxedo Air.” Get insider information on decorations, construction, design, animation, electronics, animation, and the merchandise departments. We can show you how to weld, metal work, process decorations, and machining and hydraulics, which is a true hands on experience! We will also be providing free food!

Start getting involved in Cal Poly Pomona’s legacy, our 66th year building a float, the 125th year of the Tournament of Roses Annual Parade and the 100th Rose Bowl Game this year.

‘Tuxedo Air’ Wins Bob Hope Humor Trophy
Check out this feature article about Rose Float in the Polycentric:
The Cal Poly Universities need to find more space on the mantle – or maybe they should get another mantle. For the 51st time in 65 years, the only student-built float in the Rose Parade earned an award, this time the Bob Hope Humor Trophy, which recognizes the most comical and amusing entry.
