You can’t make this up: Local TV meteorologists were the grand marshals that year.
“Flower Battle” was intended to commemorate
The tricked-out vehicles rolled from Alamo Plaza along Commerce Street to Main Plaza, back through Commerce to Alamo Plaza, where the mock combatants hopped out at the sound of a bugle and started pelting each other with flowers. You are right to remember that 1987 was the year it really rained on our parade, and the jokes wrote themselves.The Battle of Flowers Parade theme that year was “A Parade for All Seasons,” including the rainy one. Its grand marshals were the three local TV meteorologists — Albert Flores , Mike Pesina and John Willing , dubbed “Men of All Seasons,” according to a history in the Battle of Flowers Association’s Member’s Handbook.
