Get a sneak peek at Rose float design

The rest of the world will have to wait until January 2006 to see

Newport Beach’s Rose Parade float, but you can see the float design

To celebrate Newport Beach’s 100th birthday -- officially on Sept.

1, 2006 -- the city has planned a year of activities that will kick

off this fall. The float design will be unveiled at 10 a.m. Tuesday

at Roger’s Gardens, 2301 San Joaquin Hills Road, Newport Beach. For
