The 4th of July brought MANY activities from being stretched from the 3rd through the 5th!!
On Saturday, the 3rd of July, I participated in the parade held in my hometown of Inkom, Idaho. I rode the new addition to my family "Tango"- for her first parade she did beautifully!! Shelbey joined as well promoting the Marsh Valley Pioneer Day Rodeo, and together we had a BLAST! There were TONS of people there to watch and collect the candy being tossed. From the parade, it turned into a town celebration with vendors, food, 3 on 3 basketball tournaments, horseshoe tournaments, and local talent competitions. They honored veterans, had a flag raising ceremony, and posted flags and pictures in a field for all to see. It was a GREAT turn out for such a small town and the patriotism was beaming in everyone that came! That night I watched the firework show in Fort Hall, Idaho where the Shoshone Bannock tribe celebrated Indians Day. Such a freedom we have!!!
On Sunday, the 4th of July, Pocatello held its annual Parade. Here I was joined by DNCFR Princess Randi Davis, DNCFR Committee members Brad, Tom, Donna (Step-Mom), David (Dad), and K.T. (on horseback), Shelbey:: representing Bancroft Rodeo::, and 3 nieces and a nephew!! Whew what a Group!! I loved seeing even MORE people out and about celebrating the freedoms we have endoured and the people responsible for that freedom! The fun filled activities continued that day at the Bannock County Fairgrounds where they had " The Greatest Show in Idaho" fireworks show, vendors, food, and activities for all ages!!! To say the least, I was a tuckered pup when the weekend was through, but I was very proud and honored to be reminded of the freedoms we have and to support the people who help in keeping those freedoms. Thank you to the soldiers and their families for ALL they do **May God Bless you and keep you safe!**
