Sometimes when you travel the little things are the most memorable. Eating a picnic on the banks of the Seine or seeing Elvis in Mallorca are memories that I'll always cherish. With this is mind, I always try to make the effort and see local events whenever I can.
Once a year the town of Fountain Green, UT near Maple hosts their Lamb Days Festival. Started in 1932 to promote the local sheep industry, the two day event is now a celebration of all things lamb.
As I've chronicled before, I have two weaknesses: Elvis impersonators and fruity drinks. After attending the Lamb Days festivities, I may need to add parades to my list of personal kryptonites. Before getting to the pictures, I should mention that the last parade that I attended before this was the Atlanta Pride Parade, a huge gay pride event that occurs around Halloween. Needless to say, these two events couldn't have been more different. On to the pictures!

 |
| This must be what Hell is like |
 |
| The Winners "Float" These are the kids that raised the best lambs. |
 |
| WTF is Cowboy Poetry? |
 |
| The floats throw candy and freezie pops. The kids are big fans of this. |
 |
| Some of the floats were more spectacular than others. |
 |
| SLC Punk? |
 |
| Lots of visitors. Amazingly, there was no parade-induced violence. ;) |
 |
| Eating Freezie Pops is Serious Business. |
 |
| MMM Freezie Pops. |
 |
| T-Shirt Gun! |
| This picture doesn't do any of this justice. A few seconds after this was taken, the driver got out and started break-dancing. | |
 |
| Is he flashing a gang sign? Prepping for future drive bys? |
 |
| This kid stole the show. Badass John Deere plus he's got a cape! |
 |
| Uh...let's end here. |
