Pioneer Days

The weekend of July 24 is Pioneer Days in Utah and commemorates the arrival of Mormon Pioneers into what is now Utah, when Brigham Young said ‘This is the Place’.

Although we were travelling as we approached Marysvale on highway 89 the Sherriff was stopping traffic so we were lucky enough to watch the Marysvale parade.

The parade was led by Veterans, who as always received a big cheer.

There were lots of other floats, from the Fire Department,

Ranches,

Businesses,

Carnival queens who’d all mastered that ‘royal’ wave beautifully.

The girls on this float were having a great time boogying along to Abba and Dancing Queen.

Not to mention the rodeo queens.

All too soon it was over and the Sherriff waved us on our way.

Have fun, we are!
