Local News in Brief : Early Rose Bowl Gala
The march through the streets is still months off, but the Pasadena Tournament of Roses kicked off celebration of the Rose Parade’s 100th year with a noisy ceremony that featured trumpets, confetti cannons and the unveiling of the official centennial poster.
