Floats abundant in parade

I remember as a little girl watching the Tooele parade, which consisted of one float – the Tooele royalty – and seeing what seemed to be a mile of fire trucks and Army depot vehicles. This was followed by the high school bands and a few horses. We got thrown a few pieces of candy and thought this is what a parade consisted of. Our family excuse for showing up 10 minutes after the parade started was that we didn't want to miss the fire and Army depot trucks. This year, I watched the parade with my own child and we started counting how many floats – actual floats – were in the parade. I was amazed. I want to say thank you to all those who took the time to make our parade so much fun with the floats, candy and countless handouts and prizes. It was a blast and next year we will want to be there before the parade starts to reserve a spot.
