Pasadena: Occupy the Rose Parade plans to descend upon the annual showcase of flowered floats and bands with a undetermined number of protesters. Pasadena police officials have said there could be between 200 and 1,000 protesters. However, Occupy hasn’t released any firm numbers to this newspaper. The New York Times reported as many as 40,000 protesters could show for the Rose Parade.
