We went to Perryton this weekend so that we could attend the Wheatheart Celebration. Wheat is one of the big crops that is farmed in Perryton so I assume that is where they got the name. My Mom thought that it would be a great venue for her to show off her beautiful grand-daughter. My sister came for the big event also so it was a family reunion. We are always very happy to see her!
Saturday we went to the parade. Amber and I were in the parade several times growing up so it was nice to be a spectator. Amber is a professional photographer so she was hard at work capturing the event. If you haven't been to a small town parade, here is a description of the Perryton parade:
-police cars/ambulances/firetrucks (sirens blaring)
-high school marching band followed by flatbed trailer with Varsity Football team
-tractors and other farm equipment
-old cars
-clown, kids on their bicycles
-horses
There were some kids dancing and a couple of actual "floats" which is rare. The parade always ends with the cars that are going to be in the demolition derby. Yes, we have a very white-trash demolition derby. Paige had fun at the parade and even ran out and got the candy they were throwing.
After the parade, we went to the Museum for some hamburgers and homemade ice cream. Most of the games were for bigger kids. Paige decided that she wanted to ride on the ponies. I was really surprised that she was willing to do it since she is apprehensive about the carousel at the mall. She absolutely loved it! We had so much fun. I am sure the Wheatheart Celebration will be an annual trip for us.
