Around the corner from the souvenir stands, a line of cars with people waiting for their COVID tests in the shadow of the Rose Bowl sets a tense tone
In one of the biggest weekends of the year for Pasadena, tourists flock to the city for the annual Rose Parade and Rose Bowl, but with cases of COVID-19 at record highs, organizers are doing their best to keep the public informed about how to stay safe.
A quick search on social media shows reduced ticket prices for both the game and seating at the Rose Parade, as some who planned to attend are now opting out.“We are vaccinated. We are masked up. We’re the only ones in here talking to you. There’s nobody else in this big ballroom. We have our masks,” Allison Johnson Miller said.
“It’s an outdoor event. Pasadena officials and the health department have gone to great lengths to make sure people are vaccinated and masked, and avoid super crowded situations. I trust the Pasadena team to do a very good job, and I trust people to assess their own risk,” Ferrer said. “I always tell everybody he wasn’t perfect, but he was ours and he was. Once you met him, you’d never forget him. I just miss everything about him,” Johnson Miller said.
A football fanatic, he made it to the Rose Bowl. Maybe not the way he dreamt he would, but with an opportunity to continue saving lives by raising awareness about organ donation.
