Pioneer Day Sum Up

Our 24th of July Pioneer Day celebration was amazing as usual. Holden is the place to be on this Holiday. The whole town turns out for the Primary's children parade. This is followed by a free buffet breakfast with everything from fruit and breads, to fresh scones, to eggs, bacon, sausage, and hashbrowns. Puts Denny's & JB's to shame. Then, kid's games and the Great Race in the park. The Great Race is a big relay with about 10 stations that teams compete in. They saw logs, chug pop, lasso calfs, run three-legged and more. Finally, as if that weren't enough, the Bottle Rocket contest wraps up the day. My family totally got into it this year......we made about 5 rockets including one with a parachute. We even brought home two trophies this year. It was a great time!
