Economic Impact of the 2013 Tournament of Roses on Los Angeles County ______
Economic Impact of the 2013 Tournament of Roses On Los Angeles County __________________________________________________________________________ by Roy Weinstein and Kristina Stanford Micronomics A SourceHOV Company in collaboration with October 2013 www.micronomics.com www.sourcehov.com Economic Impact of the 2013 Tournament of Roses On Los Angeles County __________________________________________________________________________ by Roy Weinstein and Kristina Stanford Micronomics A SourceHOV Company in collaboration with October 2013 www.micronomics.com www.sourcehov.com Executive Summary Micronomics was asked to quantify the economic impact of the 2013 Rose Bowl and Rose Parade on Los Angeles County. Based on our analysis, we have concluded that these events produced at least $306 million in immediate, identifiable benefits to Los Angeles County, including $140 million in incremental spending by visiting attendees, $4 million in incremental spending by out-of-town event participants, $6 million associated with the construction of Rose Parade floats, $15 million spent by the Tournament of Roses Association, and $142 million in multiplier effects, including $22 million in state and local tax revenue. This economic benefit is equivalent to the creation of an additional 3,150 full-time equivalent jobs in Los Angeles County. These estimates are conservative because we did not account for the local value of corporate sponsorships. Background Rose Parade The elite Valley Hunt Club organized the first Rose Parade in 1890 to promote the beauty and weather in wintertime Pasadena.1 Club members invited friends from the East Coast to visit and enjoy outdoor competitions such as chariot races and jousting. The event also included a parade component where participants decorated their carriages with local flowers. -

IOWAY Pasadena Adventures New Year's Day! I
IOWAY Pasadena Adventures New Year’s Day! I don’t know how it is for you, but for me it is a nostalgic time. Each year, we quietly say goodbye to the past year and lay aside all its memories. I usually take time on that last day to mentally go over what happened as the days and weeks of that year unfolded. There are always good times to ponder and always some that don’t qualify for that category. I trust it is the same for you. Those events of the past year are now filed in the history folder under the unchangeable section. The only change that can be made might be our forgetfulness of some of those times as our flow of years relentlessly marches onward. The clock strikes midnight. Musical vibrations of an old familiar tune reach our ears, while horns blow, streamers burst forth, everyone kisses, and we find ourselves thrust into a new year. It has magically become New Year’s Day and many times relief and excitement sweep over me. We all get to start over on a brand-new adventure, one that is for the most part, of our own making. For me at least, there is a sense of optimism as the days of the new year lie in front of me. My job now is to fill in those days with exciting and meaningful activities. As daylight of that new morning sweeps across the land, I awake and quietly begin the task, determined to somehow do better than last year.
