Los Angeles Hollywood Christmas Parade 2009 with the Golden Age Express float

The Hollywood Christmas Parade 2009 features the Golden Age Stories parade float with actors Martin Kove (Karate Kid, Wyatt Earp, Rambo II) and Phil Proctor (Big Brother, Rugrats, Finding Nemo, and Princess and the Frog) on the Golden Age Express.

Galaxy Press, book publishers for the Golden Age Stories pulp fiction series by bestselling author L. Ron Hubbard, took part in the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade with actors Martin Kove and Phil Proctor on the L. Ron Hubbard Stories from the Golden Age parade float, along with dancers and pulp fiction characters from the Golden Age Stories books.

A record crowd of over 90,000 well-wishers greeted Hollywood actors Martin Kove and Phil Proctor, along with two dozen costumed actors riding aboard the colorful, glittering 32-foot long L. Ron Hubbard Stories from the Golden Age float—named the Golden Age Express—and Santa’s Jumpin’ Jive Swingers dancing alongside the float for the entire 2 ½ mile route Sunday night (29 November 2009) as part of the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade.

“It’s great to see the joy in people’s faces along the parade route,” said Kove, who was riding along with his fiancé, Michelle Tabb. “Hollywood’s past and current success is based a lot on pulp fiction stories, so Stories from the Golden Age make a perfect fit for the parade.”

Proctor, accompanied by his actor-daughter Kristin, stated, “The crowd was wowed!” He continued, “Everyone was here to see Santa and hear the musical bands, but our Golden Age Express and the wonderful original music, swing dancers and costumed characters made everyone smile.”

Audiences were treated to cowboys, detectives, maidens, and pirates showcasing characters from 8 different story genres found in the Stories from the Golden Age pulp fiction series (Galaxy Press, www.goldenagestories.com), along with Santa’s Jumpin’ Jive Swingers, comprised of swing couples from all over Southern California led by top swing dancer Benny Reese and partner Jennifer Netzel and choreographed by Bonita Wilson and Liz Baybak of Dancemakers, Inc.
