Pioneer Day



Pioneer Day is always a big event in Snowflake. With the usual parade, fair, rodeo and fireworks. The kids really had fun at the parade this year. They always look forward to the candy, the horses, and the fire trucks. It was especially exciting this year when the huge fire truck at the end of the parade let out a huge fountain of water in the air spraying both sides of the street and crowds of kids ended up running into the road getting soaked. Great for a hot day! The adults all went fleeing for cover. Dave had a booth set-up at the fair to sell his artwork. He was pleasantly surprised at how successful it was. Amy and I planned a fun activity for our kids by dressing them up in the pioneer outfits Nana made, building a covered wagon (it only survived one trip around the yard), having a pioneer picnic, and reading pioneer stories. They all had great fun!
