GLENDALE -- International House of Pancakes Corp. wants to tap into

the creativity of children.

With its “2002 Dream Up Our Float” contest, children are invited to

submit ideas for float designs for the company’s 2002 Rose Parade float.

Children, 6-12, can receive entry forms at their local IHOP

restaurant. Twelve finalists will be selected on the basis of originality

and creativity. The grand prize winner will be announced in September.

The grand prizewinner will receive a trip for four to Pasadena, Calif.

to ride in the 2002 parade on the float that was created from their

winning submission.
