16 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | FEBRUARY 2018 | Wed., Feb. 7, 8 am – 5 pm, $59 pp, includes lunch. In honor of the inauguration of the 100th Rose Queen in 2018, Pasadena Museum of History presents an exhibition celebrating the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Royal Court. From the first Royal Court in 1905, young women of Pasadena and its environs have graced the Tournament of Roses and served as ambassadors for the city of Pasadena almost every year. This unique exhibition explores the traditions and history of the Royal Court, from the selection process to the Coronation and Rose Parade. Exquisite coronation gowns of past Rose Queens and Princesses are on display, as well as day-wear, accessories, and jewelry from the Court wardrobes, all generously lent by former members of the Royal Court, beginning with the gown of Margaret Huntley Main, the oldest surviving Queen (1940 court). From the sleek satin gowns of the 1940s, to the tulle confections of William Cahill in the 1950s and 60s, and the modern- day glamour of Tadashi Shoji, the elegance of the Royal Court is celebrated. Vivid photos and ephemera documenting this century- long Pasadena tradition enhance the exhibit, including the original design drawings of the Queen's Float. A special highlight is Queen's crowns from the past century, on loan from the Tournament of Roses. Lunch Break at Buca di Beppo/Family Style: Caesar salad, mixed green salad, spaghetti marinara, fettuccine Alfredo, chicken parmigiana, unlimited soft drinks, coffee & tea. Norton Simon Museum of Art: Norton Simon (1907-1993) established the Norton Simon Foundation in 1952 to administer his family's philanthropic endeavors. As Mr. Simon's interest in collecting art grew, so did the Foundation's involvement, and in 1964 it made its first major purchase – the inventory of the prominent New York art dealer, the Duveen Brothers. Today, the Foundation owns some of the most renowned artworks in the world!

When the original founders ran into financial problems the following year, the fledgling paper was inherited by its printer, the Mirror Printing Office and Book Bindery. The company hired as editor former military officer Harrison Gray Otis, who quickly turned the paper into a financial success. Otis and a partner purchased the entire Times and Mirror properties in 1884 and incorporated them as the Times-Mirror Company. Two years later, Otis purchased his partner's interest in the company. In October 1886, the word "Daily" was removed from the title and the newspaper became the Los Angeles Times. As the city grew, so did The Times. However, competition among local newspapers was fierce and it was not until the mid-1940s that The Times became the leading newspaper in Los Angeles. Today, it is the largest metropolitan newspaper in the country. In June 2000, The Times became a Tribune Publishing newspaper when the Tribune Company acquired Times-Mirror, former parent of the Los Angeles Times. On this trip you will tour the LA Times' two buildings with lunch in between the tours. Lunch will be in the LA Times Cafeteria, On Own/On Site.
