This past weekend was the annual WestFest celebration. In addition to the crafts, food, and carnival Saturday mornings festivities was kicked off by a family 5k run followed by a parade. After nearly a month of cool and wet weather, the skies were clear, blue, and sunny for the fun. I waited at the finish line for Emily to complete the race and was proud to see her finish a full five minutes ahead of her self-projected time. Afterward I pulled together a makeshift pioneer outfit and climbed aboard the brand new West Valley City parade float that celebrates the wagon train heritage to our Trax train future. It is difficult for me to imagine what life was like for my Rushton and Moesser ancestors that decided to make this part of the valley their home years and years ago. The float will also be showcase at the upcoming annual 24th of July parade in Salt Lake City. The evening ended with a spectacular fireworks display that lit up the ten o'clock night sky.
