This year was the 50th anniversary of Wagon Days. Here is a little blurb about the parade...
The Big Hitch Parade is the highlight of the Wagon Days (Labor Day weekend) celebration. It has grown into the largest non-motorized parade in the West, displaying more than a hundred museum-quality buggies, carriages, tacks, carts, buckboards, and wagons of every variety in existence today. The Wagon Days Big Hitch, historic wagons used to haul ore from the area, are powered by an authentic 20-draft mule jerkline.
Adding spice to the parade is a lively assortment of authentically costumed individuals, numerous breeds of horses, from Arabs to Morgans to Pasos. Plus, professional and scholastic marching bands from around the state and the intermountain west.
Willie and I ride our bikes up every year and head on over to the Graffs party for Bloody Mary's and Margaritas! I'll tell ya-those are the best in the West! My personal favorite in the parade was the Budweiser dalmation-just like the Super Bowl commercial!
