Spooner Rodeo Parade

Last weekend was the Spooner Rodeo parade that we attend every year. The cousins, Nina and Sara along with Lea Ann and Steven, Paul Wiemann, Cindy Wiemann and Joe Berryman and, of course, Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Art. Excellent weather and an excellent parade!

Last weekend was the Spooner Rodeo parade. We never miss it when we are home in July.

Spooner Rodeo Parade!

Yesterday was the Spooner Rodeo Parade!   We love going to it every year – in our opinion it is the perfect small town parade – we always leave it feeling red, white and blue.   Good clean fun and dirty tootsie rolls picked up off the street!

The Spooner Rodeo Parade – 2013

Last Saturday we saw the Spooner Rodeo Parade with Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Art.  As always it was a hoot and we even saw Uncle Jerry Miller driving a truck in the parade though we weren’t able to get his attention.   There were multiple marching bands, fire trucks, and even a vintage Sherman tank and, as always, plenty of candy thrown from the floats for the kids to scramble for.   Kai and Nora came away with quite a haul.

Each year Spooner, Wisconsin hosts a major Rodeo that kicks off with a parade.  Since it is in early July it is hit and miss whether we are back in the US for it but this time we made it.   The weather could not have been better and it was a fine parade.  It was great spending time with Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Art but the highlight for the kids was certainly the tradition of throwing candy from the parade.  They each walked away with a few pounds!
