Awards Founders Trophy, Self built builder of the year Mother ladybug takes her new brood of little ones out for their first trek through a garden. Three small atv-powered ladybugs played follow the leader around the main float throughout the entire parade. The small lady bugs heads moved as they turned. This main float and multiple satellite or smaller floats concept was revived and proved to be a huge hit with all parade goers. South Pasadena was the first to use this format in 1967 with its Sweepstakes winner Voyage to Atlantis. One of the small ladybugs was purchased by a former city resident and now resides in Paradise CA and adorns a motel.
