Labor Day

Labor Day we headed to the States Day parade and carnival in Prosser. We got to hang out with the whole family and had a nice day. Tinkerbell enjoyed (well sort of) her first parade - especially the horses and 2 dogs that walked by.

States Day started when farmers would come into town for a big picnic to celebrate the end of harvest. Somehow they started registering where they came from (home state) which started the States Day name. Most people I saw who registered their home state were from the Midwest. Interesting to see what people make up my hometown.

We enjoyed lunch at the park and saw some local talent - they were performing for "Valley's Got Talent" our version of America's Got Talent. Let me tell you - some of these people should have been on that show. One girl in particular had an amazing voice and stage presence - and she was only 15!!!

All in all a nice way to spend our Labor Day.
