Rose Queens of Yester Year

My husband has the same addiction I do.
STUFF.
And not really just stuff, but junk. If we hit an estate sale together, you better believe 100$ is gone and we have a trunk full of weird stuff we probably don't need. He recently purchased a 50s bee catchers mask, and 1970s encyclopedias...(what was he thinking?) But at this same sale her came across this little pictoral magazine:
Rose Festival Pictoral: 1946
This is especially exciting to me, because the Rose Festival is a Portland Oregon event (where I currently hail from my dears!) that has been going on for nearly 100 years. They have a "Grand Floral Parade" and the Rose Court of decadent Queens and Princesses. So I thought I would share a few pages and tid-bits from this issue.
