Took a drive down the road to Mayer today where the locals are celebrating Mayer Daze (Days). I got there just in time for a typical small-town parade. Lots of military . . .
The Pony Express riders . . .
A small motorized cart pulling a wagon with rider . . .
Motorcycles . . .
Lots of horses, including this Clydesdale . . .
A local bagpiper . . .
Pretty girls on horses . . .
Representatives of the Sheriff's office (who look like they've had a few too many doughnuts) . . .
Some miniature donkeys . . .
With all these equines, there have to be pooper-scoopers . . .
A shoot-out near the bank . . .
Some wild women of the west . . .
And more motorized vehicles . . .
After the parade, a stroll around town found a beautiful turkey . . .
A llama . . .
And a chance to get a close-up look at that Clydesdale's hooves.
A thoroughly American experience . . .
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures, and I liked the humorous commentary that went with them.
