What a fun town this is! I love the town of Parowan and all the wonderful groups and activities that were represented in this parade. I was so surprised to see how many people were sitting on the flag lined curbs all the way down Main street. I didn't know they had a Swim Team, A Red Hat Society, A wonderful Drill Team from Parowan High, young martial arts group, goats representing the fresh goat cheese made at The Jack Rabbit Ranch located in Parowan trotted right along in the parade, Noble Farm from Summit was well represented in quite a few ways, one being a beautiful woman rider on top of a gorgeous black horse with red roses streaming down the tail and two very obedient dogs trailing along side. She turned her horse towards me and saluted with a leather gloved hand. One entry was the entourage of the Iron County Search And Rescue. I was so thrilled to see our talented Search and Rescue dog trainer Pam Williams from The Hitchin' Post in Enoch,UT perched on top of an army green ATV with her search and Rescue Dog Maggie. Dogs are such an important part of life here on the farms and ranches. They were everywhere, on floats, ATVs, walking free in the parade,and on the curbs in the crowds. Folks reading this must know there were so many festive entries in the parade. They all were great ! Here is a brief video of the wonderful event !

Children anticipated the candy being tossed out from the sheriffs SUV and Frisbees tossed out by the firetruck and various other parade participants threw out suckers and candy canes etc. The crowds synergy was intoxicating, the simplicity and creativity was inspirational. There were hoots and hollers, clapping and waving of flags. The whole scene was animated with enthusiasm and celebration. The sirens of the fire departments finale and the whirl of activity going on around me, brought to mind a time when I was a little girl in Santa Fe Springs, California. The parade marched down Telegraph Road right in front of our house. It was a simpler time back then in 1960. My sister, mom and I would walk down after the parade to the festival down the road. The memory of pink cotton candy, the sounds and whirrs* of the fun zone and the smell of popcorn filled my senses again. I was taken back to that time, yesterday, while watching the parade in Parowan,Ut. Here are some highlights of that parade in a photoshow below. Hope you enjoy it.
