Bountiful Handcart Days Parade

Picture of the Day for 7/22/2015. I was driving through Bountiful tonight and noticed chairs lining what must be a parade route. Since July 24th is Pioneer Day in Utah (a state holiday recognizing the arrival of the Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley), it wasn't rocket science to figure out the reason for the parade. I just couldn't believe people were already reserving seats for a Pioneer Day parade a full two days early for a relatively small-town event, but apparently, Bountiful has their own version of the holiday which they call Bountiful Handcart Days. The city's big parade takes place on the 23rd. I thought "good for them" for branching off on their own. Might have to check out Handcart Days next year.
