The 16th annual parade has begun...all money goes to local schools.

Future high school cheerleaders.

Kids from East Nicolaus High School...they all looked soooo young...am I getting old?

My dad was inspired to buy this BIG hat at the parade!

God Bless America.

A Vaquero.

John Irving enjoyed the parade, but wanted more water.

Sutter county loves tractors.

Many cool old cars were in the parade - Todd LOVED that.

One of our local schools...Pleasant Grove est 1870.

One of the toddler cheerleaders...so cute.

Plumas Lakes has its own cheer squad.

A lawn mower pulling a train..neat.

More tractors.

East Nicolaus Fire Dept. is staffed by volunteers. Our friend Austin is driving.

Big Horse, Little Horse.

This is a very BIG tractor; those tires are probably 6' tall...and this $100K tractor is driven by a 15 year old.

I'm not exactly sure what this was...

A vaquero and his spirited horse.

Beautiful costumes and great dancing.

In training.
