Seen by millions of people worldwide every year in 200 countries the Tournament of Roses parade has been a California tradition since 1890. The upcoming parade will also feature a Saginaw native.

Jill Thompson says, " She always watched that Rose Bowl parade and for her to have a picture in it she would just be totally amazed."
