A Small Town Parade - Barnwell, Alberta

---

100 years as a community were celebrated this past weekend at Barnwell, Rose's old hometown. July 24th is the Mormon Pioneer Commemoration as well, so this event was celebrated by family reunions and much reminiscing. The sun was shining. The temperature was +30 F or about 90 F. We enjoyed seeing many old friends here.

Sorry to have missed the parade
We were in Taber but did not know there was a parade until a day later.
