I have not been too involved with Frontier Days this year, but I did step out of the office and take a few photos on Tuesday as the parade went past our front door.

Today (Wednesday) our office staff continued on with the tradition of attending the pancake breakfast even though it was raining. The weather definitely kept the crowd down. We typically arrive at the office at 6:30 A.M. to make the walk down to the Depot. We eat breakfast with thousands of others and then head back to work by 8:00 A.M. The weather dampened the exuberance of the event this year, but we need the rain. Thus, it makes it difficult to complain about getting wet. The photos below capture some of the surrounding elements while we were at the breakfast.
