Spring Creek 4th of July Parade

My 4th started out with the Spring Creek Parade.
The day started out a little dark & rainy,
but the blue sky emerged for the event.
We watched the parade from Sunshine & Brandon's driveway.
Here are some of the images we captured:


The parades in Elko County are always led by the local chapter of the POW*MIA Association.

This was a very powerful image and brought tears.


These horses were absolutely beautiful.



You can't have a parade in a ranching community without the Pony Club or tractors.

Although I don't know how a gorilla fits into that.



More beautiful equines and a local 4-H chapter.

Our Nevada Division of Forestry and BLM firefighters also joined in on the action.
The yellow BLM truck sprayed the crowd with it's water cannon thing on the front.

This was the float from Baily Construction.
They were raffling off the playhouse.

This bike was cute! It even had hydraulics that raised & lowered the front end!

Do they threw candy at your parades? They do at ours.
This float had a candy cannon that showered sweets at the parade goers.


Oh yeah, it started to rain as we got in the car to head home....

  1. What a nice parade! Yep, they throw candy at ours. But not a lot. Mostly it's beads and shirts and stuffed animals and doggie bones and toys lol
