             Pasadena Rose Parade HOP

December 29, 2011 – January 3, 2012

Hosts Ed and Sandy Kruty #77117

Once again we are offering the fantastic Rose Parade HOP. After listening to so many people who say it is one beautiful sight to behold, we just have to keep letting our fellow Escapees who haven’t had the opportunity to go there, another chance. This HOP will be unique in the fact that the Parade will be held on Monday rather than the normal Sunday. Whenever the first of January falls on a Sunday they move the Parade to Monday. It doesn’t happen very often. It certainly won’t change the beauty of the Parade.

The theme for this year is Just Imagine and features spirited marching bands from throughout the nation, majestic floral floats, and high-stepping equestrian units.

Together you will experience the magic surrounding the historical Rose Parade with its unforgettable shows of talented artists, musicians, riders, dancers, and auxiliary performers.

We have secured full-hookup camping at  Valencia Travel Village, Rose Parade tickets, Bandfest tickets, and Equestfest tickets. We will also be going to the La Brea Tar Pits this year.

Float Decorating

If you would like to volunteer to help decorate one of the floats, you will need to come in at least a day early and be willing to spend at least four hours minimum on December 29.

Early Arrival/Staying After

If you’re interested in arriving early or staying late, call 888-757-2852 or 936-327-8873 to make your reservation.  You’ll pay Valencia directly when you arrive for any extra nights at a price of $35.00 per night, tax included. 

Dog-Walking

The RV Park has dog-walking services by a woman who lives onsite. The price for this service will be $5.00 per walk. Call the park directly for this service at 661-257-3333. Make sure to let them know you are with the Escapees HOP event.
