Some random posts that never got posted.
Here is the parade we went to just before heading to Lake DeSmet and the lodge for Cody and Amanda's wedding in July.
So here is the Sheridan, Wyoming Rodeo Days Parade
A fire department wagon
Various ranches had wagons
Several Native tribes were represented
The Rodeo Queen
Rodeo Princess
Miss Crow Nation
A lot of the floats had to do with honoring the first responders
A combine honoring the armed forces
Preschool!
A giant cowboy hat that they kept tipping at the crowds
The kids loved the big eagle
Turtle car
Clowns
Gilbert and the rodeo clowns
The queen bees
Miss Wyoming contestant
A desert scene from the Shriners
Not sure which tribe this was--maybe Blackfoot?
An amazingly cute baby and his daddy
I adore all the color!
And those blankets!
We thought those were shells sewn on their dresses, which didn't make much sense--where did they come from? Wyoming isn't known for their beaches. But apparently they are elk teeth, harvested from the hunt.
Papoose board!
A little pony carrying her girl
Then they had floats full of people
Dressed in finery
The women's floats were had more decorum
I just love the colors!
Why does our color tend toward neutral colors so much?
Cute kids!
We were not entirely sure this truck was safe, but it was interesting.
It was SO HOT. Shade was a must.
When we were walking back to the van, we saw this sweet girl all decked out, so we asked if we could take her picture and she said sure!
Isn't she lovely?
