Horsetown or Paradetown

Norco has her fair share of parades, and we've enjoyed a number of them. They're very close to home and are not crowded and usually filled with horses-- three big things in their favor. If you ask the kids, their favorite part is the throwing of candy and chasing after it.

It is Horseweek here in Norco. Parades, horse obstacle courses, chili cookoff, a quarter dip, rodeos, a pancake breakfast and various other 'small town' treasures abound. We're enjoying a few of them. Here are some pictures of the parade on Saturday:


Beginning of the parade, after the firetruck and police car went by.


One of the many animal entries. This cute little girl got all dressed up for the event.


You can't see it very well, but a few parade folks walked their Miniatures or Shetlands over for the kids to pet-- they loved it. They're petting one here.


Bad picture, but Derek and I have both commented on how funny it is to see a rider going along on their cell phone or texting as they go along the trails. This lady was on the phone during the parade!

If you like this kind of stuff, come on May 30 for the Annual Ranch Tour where you can tour 6 or 8 of Norco's newer ranches and see demonstrations and eat yummy food. Anna's looking forward to it!
