This Dino-Soar’s era came to a colorful, happy end as boys and girls climbed aboard to pluck red roses, all manner of pretty flowers and any seed or bean they could get their hands on. Five days after making its glorious two-hour trek down Colorado Boulevard, the 2013 La Cañada Flintridge Tournament of Roses Assn. float, Dino-Soar, which won the Rose Parade award for best animation, gave its final performance parked peacefully in front of Memorial Park.
