Primary Parades

When I was a little girl we used to have Primary Parades around the 24th of July celebration.  We would decorate our bikes, trikes and wagons, and pretend we were pioneers crossing the plains.  I remember putting two bushel baskets in either end of a wagon, and draping and tucking a white sheet around everything, and Viola !  we had a covered wagon !  I'm not sure how colored crepe paper with fringing on it correlates with Pioneers, but that's just what we did :)  We met in the parking lot of the Rock Church, and then walked around the block in a big group (kids and leaders) with our parents parked along side of the road cheering us on.

I don't know if they still do the Primary Parades.  The last time we were involved in anything remotely like this, was in 1986.  

Here is Zac pulling all of his stuffed animals in the wagon.  We started in front of the courthouse, and went over to the park.  This wasn't a Primary Parade, but a celebration for the 4th of July.  Recognize anyone else in the picture?  I see Lance Prescott, Amber Carrigan, Robyn Birt Nelson, and way in the back, above the two raggedy andy red wigs, is Manda.
