Livestock Festival

This here is the ultimate redneck post!

 I decided to stop my regular wednesday posts because I was getting to know too many people in the community and neighborhood...before long they would end up seeing my blog and may not have taken kindly to my interpretations of their yard etc.

Anyway, back to redneck city: there is an annual festival celebrating our agricultural heritage here in Southern Utah. This was a 2 day event with parades, dutch oven cook offs, livestock contests, cowboy poetry, and tractor pulls (yes they literally judged who's tractor could pull the most weight-and they had sub-categories).

 Not gonna lie, this event made my day! The town was alive with happiness and laughter. There were balloons everywhere, a petting zoo for the kids, face painting, and artisan booths...

Here are some photos of the Parade:

My favorite part was the antique tractor parade.

Look closely, that's a hair flower on the sheep!

Loving it! Probably looking at a horse.

Yup, stopped traffic and herded thousands of sheep down Main street.

Emma convinced us to "have a family date and get ice cream!"

Parker got cheerios instead of ice cream and couldn't have cared less.
