80-foot float gets stuck on way to Rose Parade
An 80-foot float got stuck on its way from Irwindale to Pasadena before its big debut in the Rose Parade.

IRWINDALE, Calif. (KABC) -- The floats for the 128th Rose Parade moved slowly toward Pasadena late Sunday evening preparing for their worldwide debut on Monday.

But for one float, the trip got a little bumpy when it struggled to make a turn because it was too long.

The 80-foot Lucy Pets float couldn't make a turn around a lamppost, and officials had to call in a tow truck to help maneuver the float which will feature surfing dogs during the parade.
