Saira Mapes was among 70 Cal Poly students to create “Road to Reclamation.”
A float designed by a Prospect High School graduate for the Cal Poly team won the Extraordinaire Award Jan. 2 in the 134th Rose Parade in Pasadena.
Prospect High School graduate Saira Mapes led the Cal Poly Universities design team in creating the “Road to Reclamation” float, which won the Extraordinaire Award at the Rose Parade Jan. 2. Mapes and her student teammates, assisted by scores of volunteers, covered their 18- by-55-foot float with about 20,000 colorful blooms—carnations, mums and Gerbera daisies among them—and organic materials such as cranberries, cornhusks, beans and seeds. “Road to Reclamation” featured animated snails, gigantic toadstools and other flora and fauna that can be found on the forest floor.
Mapes was one of more than 70 students, split evenly between the Pomona and San Luis Obispo universities, who participated in building the “Road to Reclamation” float, which showcased the theme of rebirth and renewal with its design capturing the revitalization of a forest floor.
