Barbara is the person responsible for starting the Rose Parade. Her push for a parade in Jackson started in the late 50's through her participation in a discussion group on how to generate a sense of community and pride in Jacksonians. She was invited to participate in the discussion group as a result of being Women’s' Director for radio station WIBM at the time. Without her efforts, the Rose Parade may have never been established as one of Jackson longest community traditions. Families have been enjoying the Rose Parade since the early 60's and we have Barbara, and other community volunteers who supported her efforts, to thank for making the Rose Parade what it is today. Barbara attended Jackson High and lived on North Higby Street in Jackson until she moved to Florida in the early 60's. Barbara will be in Jackson visiting family during the Rose Festival weekend. If you happen to meet her, please thank her for all she's done for Jackson! 2010 Late 1950's 2010 Parade Marshal: Vote Jackson!
