Days of '47 Floats

A few years ago we started the tradition of attending the float preview party for the Days of '47 parade. It is held the week before July 24 at the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy. It is fantastic!
We never go to the parade because it is crowded, hot and is so much easier to watch it on TV. But, you often can't get the full effect on TV. That is why we love the parade party - you can see all the floats up close. The trickiest part is making sure your kids don't touch! If only they would have a high school band marching around (or not, that would get very loud and echoy in that building).
We voted on our favorite floats. Kate like the one with flowers - which was almost every one (I randomly choose one for her ballot). Enoch liked the one with the rocket that blasted off. I liked the one that depicted Hole in the Rock. All the floats were great. Although the BYU float wasn't as colorful, funny or cute as some of the others, we still liked it!


We didn't stay long, but had a great time and can't wait until next year.
