That's part of the charm of living in Cache Valley. Every couple of weeks you can attend a different parade celebrating different but natural themes. In May we went to the Black and White Days parade in Richmond (dairy cows), on the 4th of July we went to a traditional parade in Hyrum and this past weekend we went to celebrate Apple Days in River Heights. I'm glad that Andrew has taken an interest in knowing the local holidays and invites us to come with.
One of the sections I really liked this weekend was the walking section. The group of young kids and parents who meet at the start and walk or bike or skate down the route. It reminded me of Magna and all the years we dressed up in a costume way too hot for July or spent time wrapping our bikes in crepe paper. One year Aaron had to be warned not to squirt us with his headband water gun. (I know it wasn't a gun but it shot water and it fit on your head.)
The Apple Days Parade even included a local dentist driving a truck with young teeth following behind. That's the one time I remember sleeping at Granny and Grandpa's. Aaron was armed with an oversized toothbrush and Dusty was decay attacking all his younger cousins, the teeth.
Next year, Wellsville Days and Trout and Berry Days in Paradise.

My favorite was the one girl on the float by herself! but yes I have enjoyed going to the little town festivals...it kind of the towns own little festivus.
Festivus is for the rest of us. Indeed. Big Piney's 4th of July parade was awesome.
