77th Clay County Pioneer Reunion
Today is the last day of the 77th Pioneer Reunion. The day start’s with a parade, then food and shopping on the square, and ends with the rodeo and dance. Brazos Stone has provided great music last night and again tonight. I can hear the rodeo and music from my front porch. You should remember them from DeEdra’s blog. DeEdra took their pictures and I have to say, they were great. Go check them out here http://weblog.xanga.com/fotobydeedra/661245547/brazos-stone.html . You can see them on their myspace page at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=319525205.
Ok, so this may be a long post, but I had a hard time picking what pictures to put on here. To know about Pioneer Reunion and it’s history check out their website at http://claycountypioneerreunion.com/aboutccpr.php . So for those of you don’t know; it’s a BIG DEAL around here. The first parade on Thursday kicks off the event. School closes every Friday and for 3 days, horses, covered wagons, floats, cool cars and motorcycles can be seen up and down Main Street. I shot over 200 pictures today, I have narrowed it down to a few
People always ask me how I can drive so far to and from work everyday, this is why…
Out our front door this morning
Everyone waiting for the parade to begin
The parade starts off with honoring our great Nations Flag
and honoring those who are no longer with us
The Queen’s Float
Real Heroes
Cool cars
Maybe I can talk my sweety into getting me this car
I think he liked her
Oh, and cowboys…. young and old
This was the oldest rider in the parade, I believe they said 85 and his horse was 29
I feel certain this cutie was the youngest
Fellow coworkers
I am not real sure what they are doing
Recently repainted by the Allred Unit’s community service squad
and I am so sorry Baby Girl, but no parade and rodeo is complete without a clown
I love small towns, and our little town is a wonderful place to live…..
