Question: If you were ever in a parade, tell about it.
Answer: I rode on a float in the parade they used to have in Rigby, Idaho on the 24th of July Pioneer Day with the girls' softball team. I coached for Menan First Ward. We wore gunny sack dressed with Hancock and Clifford stamped on them. The green grass came from Eckersell's funeral home and we made a baseball diamond on it. We took 2nd place in the novelty which was $25.00. We had a party at our church.
Here on the Cook Family History Blog, I will be posting items on the various lines of my family tree so that my family can learn more about their heritage. I am going to start with my grandparents surnames-Cook, Buchmiller, Proctor, and Williams and branch out from there. I feel genealogy is so important and want my family to know where they came from. I hope to post some treasure hunts for them to do to find out more about their ancestors.
I remember the year riding on the float. We had so much fun playing soft ball in the summers with mom as our coach. Sure do love and miss her.
