Because I am such a sentimental person, I just had to post a few more pictures of my mama since tomorrow is "Covered Wagon Days" here in Utah... (called Pioneer Day today, but in 1940 it was Covered Wagon Days)... my mama on the left...
My friend Brenda at Just a Bed of Roses wanted to see the float my mama was on, it was called "The Land of Liberty"... remember these are newspaper articles from my mama's scrapbook of almost seventy years ago... wish they were clearer...my mama on the right on the float...
Wonder what my mama's horse's name was... these pretty ladies rode horses in the rodeos back then as well...my mama in the center... I love you mama!Happy 24th of July everyone!

Thank you for sharing more of your mom with us. Your mom got to experience a lot of wonderful things in life and I think it is so special that you have all of these special treasures to look at and remember your mom by.

Tomorrow is Covered Wagon Day. I will be celebrating it with my family in Farmington at my son Jareds house. Just east then north from Just a bed of roses.
It says that your mother was in the Nephi Rodeo. Did she live there? That's where my father grew up.
Have a great day tomorrow.
Cindy, my mom lived in Salt Lake City but in 1940, they went to all the parades, rodeos, etc in the surrounding towns as well for Covered Wagon Days...
Karyn, your post yesterday was really something...thank YOU for sharing your feelings...I am so happy you have your grandmother's heirlooms!
Love the new pictures and what a beauty of a float.
Just noticed they said Queen and then aids were with her...is that what they were called then?
I wonder when attendants started being used.
How fun for her in 1940.
What a beautiful group of women.
Brenda, some of the articles called them aids and some of the articles called them attendants...not sure which is was, both I guess.
