Hey, in Utah this is THE big thing. I loved the news this morning. To quote, "The Pioneer Day parade is the 2nd largest parade in America following the Rose Bowl Parade and the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. You figure out the math - only in Utah. We were bummed by it because we are using public transit to get around - saving a ton of money and the transit is free - yes, free, in downtown. But with the parade the Trax trains weren't running and we are 6 loooooong blocks from the Family History Library so we talked the hotel shuttle into driving us as close as he could get which was 100 S and West Temple. Pretty good - saved a long walk. Even though the parade goes down 2nd East they stage it on West and South Temple so we got to walk past a bunch of the floats. They were really very well done.
And when the day ended we got to see fireworks. We missed it on the 4th when we were in Canada. So this was kind of neat to watch out our hotel widow and see several shows at once.
