Here’s Samantha Warner, 19, Archie, MO, putting the last rose on the RFD-TV float before the 2010 Rose Parade. Warner, Missouri FFA President will walk beside the float, which honors the association for its work guiding students toward careers in agriculture.
On the morning of January 1, 2010, the National FFA Organization will make contact with an estimated 42 million people in the United States, and more than 100 million people worldwide, through participation in the 121st Tournament of Roses Parade. Television viewers settled in to watch this New Year’s Day tradition will witness history being made, as the first-ever FFA float in the Rose Parade not only makes its way down Orange and Colorado Boulevards before the crowds in Pasadena, but into the living rooms, and into the hearts, of families watching at home. On and surrounding the float will be the 2009-2010 National FFA Officer Team, National FFA Advisor Dr. Larry Case and the four Stars Over America, along with 52 invited FFA presidents from every U.S. state, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
Tune in to RFD-TV New Year’s morning at 11 a.m. (EST) to watch our special coverage of the 2010 Tournament of Roses Parade with hosts Lorianne Crook, Charlie Chase and Pam Minick “live” from Pasadena, California.
I think it would be interesting to know the name of the FFA members repersenting each state on the float. I would really like to know the ones from Pa.
Thank you
Hooray for FFA and the farmers of our country!
Many people underestimate the complexity of farming and the expertise farmers have in many areas.
I’ve always watched Home and Garden TV for the parade but this year RFD did a better job. More detail, better hosting and of course I had to watch RFD while horses and the FFA came through! Thanks for your wonderful coverage!
Just finished watching the parade and it was the best ever with few interuption’s, great job, wanted to vote for the FFA float but was unable to find out how to vote, I tried several ways, sorry, Angelo
RFDTV did a great job of covering the parade this year. The special
coverage of all the horses was wonderful!! I am a transplant in ky
from okla. and points west. I truly miss all the rodeos. The cowgirls
really took me back home. Well sometimes RFDTV does that for. I do get home sick, even after 31 years.
Thank You,
Uvon Perkins
Enjoyed your coverage of the parade but are VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE YOU DIDN’T COVER THE BLIND BAND FROM COLUMBUS, OHIO. I certainly feel they deserved review as much as any other unit in the parade. Your coverage disappointed us by this missed unit.
i think the float was a good idea this year for ffa, because ffa is a big part of our world. thank you for recognizing our farmers and many others of our world.

I knew that RFD would give great coverage of the FFA float.
So I watched to see the NBC coverage.
I found it interesting that all the parade units and bands were
oohed and awed but all Mr Roker could mamage for the FFA float was a flat “Here is the FFA float” Did anyone else have this feeling of neglect of the industry that makes all others possible.
