In celebration of what would have been Roy Rogers’ 100th birthday, RFD-TV is honoring the “King of the Cowboys” with a spectacular 75-foot float titled “Happy Trails” in the 2012 Tournament of Roses Parade®.  The real Trigger and Bullet, Roy’s faithful companions, will actually be on the float underneath the Roy Rogers Riders Club arch-gate.  Visit Trigger and Bullet before or after the parade and get your free photo taken with Roys' favorite companions, donations are accepted with all proceeds going to horse sanctuaries and dog shelters across the country.  By making a donation you will receive a free commemorative Trigger and Bullet Rose Parade lapel pin.  

In addition, 100 Golden Palominos with riders will symbolically lead the RFD-TV float down the Pasadena parade route, with Roy’s son and grandson, Dusty and Dustin Rogers, singing “Happy Trails” to the millions of people gathered around the world for this New Year’s tradition on January 2nd, 2012.
