It has been a couple of years since I have taken my kids to the Day's of '47 Pioneer Day Parade Float Preview. The Parade Float Preview is an event where all the floats that are entered into the Day's of '47 parade are brought to the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy, Utah. The event gives families a chance to see the Pioneer Day Floats up close and personal. It is always fun to see how much hard work and creativity that goes into these floats. I am always inspired and in awe how intricate these floats are! It also allows families to see the floats without actually going to the parade. The Day's of '47 Parade is a big deal here in Utah because it is a Parade that celebrates Utah's history and the pioneers who settled this great state. The parade is always well attended and families usually camp out several days in advance to get a good viewing spot for the parade.
The past few years, I have forgotten about the Float Preview. I blame it on getting ready for the new school (year round) which starts the day after Pioneer Day. This year, I remembered about the preview and me and Kaleb and Karmindy decided to go and check it out. The kids had a wonderful time seeing the floats, voting for their favorite floats, getting Balloon animals made (Karmindy- teddy bear holding a heart, and Kaleb a parrot) and their faces painted. Hopefully life won't be too crazy next year and I won't forget and we can continue this fun family outing!
