Pioneer Day Celebration

So after almost 9 years and 8 July 24th pioneer day celebrations, we hadn't been to one...until this year. It fell on Saturday, July 25th this year. Three stakes combine efforts to put on a huge celebration complete with parade. American Heritage Academy had a float entry which we helped decorate and pull behind our truck...



...followed by a traditional hosing of the crowd by the fire department...



...a huge pancake breatfast...







...and dozens of booths with crafts, games, and information both indoor and out. There must have been over 2,000 people there. It was quite fun!

Isn't the best part when the fire department comes & hoses you down? :) The kids & Ryan have been in it for quite a few years w/ the Cumorah float (except the last two with Ryan being gone for the management school). It's really a lot of fun! Glad you guys went. :)
