Tournament of Roses

Tournament of Roses

From Kompas

Indonesia has once again won an award in the Tournament of
Roses in Pasadena, California, U.S. For 1995, under the theme
Island of Eden -- Quest for Adventure, Indonesia succeeded in
winning the prestigious Grand Marshall Award and was categorized
as the most creative design.

Unfortunately, this is the last time that Indonesia will be
participating in the tournament, which was financed by the
Nusantara Flower Foundation. It is deplorable that Indonesia will
not be taking part in this event in the coming years. In fact,
Indonesia's participation is supportive to the efforts for
promoting its natural beauty and culture in the international
arena. I hope some party will be interested in sponsoring
Indonesia for next year's event.
