Honda ‘Follow Your Dreams’ Float Leads 2013 Rose Parade

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Honda 2013 Rose Parade float entry, “Follow Your Dreams,” was the first float in the 124th Rose Parade, themed “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!™,” on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013. The float’s design captured the theme through its imaginative depiction of innovative Honda technologies and Dr. Seuss-inspired features. This marked the 52nd year Honda has collaborated with the Tournament of Roses and its third year as presenting sponsor. Three world-champion athletes were riding on the float: U.S. sprinter Carmelita Jeter, and from the summer’s “Fierce Five” gymnastics team, McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross.
