Show M"" ' i " j ' "3- ; . : : - X Lone Peak Cheerleaders show off their acrobatic moves during the Cedar Hills Family Festival Parade that also included school mascots, cowboys, royalties, royal-ties, floats, horses and much more. ph()1H c()urlcsy of Harow Cark Cowboys, Ninjas and Pigs at Cedar Hills' Parade by Harlow Clark Cedar Hills' Family Festival Parade began as all do, with sirens and fire engines, en-gines, and a grand marshal, Ben Cahoon, and the youth city council and Lone Peak High's student council. For the lead in, a tan humvee proclaiming "Run For Jessie and Her Victory against Leukemia" Leu-kemia" was driven. A few minutes later the Chick-Fil-A Cow rode by in a trailer, prompting the question of whether Bank of American Fork's Pig had been replaced, but the faithful inflatable came by shortly. There were also live mascots like Cosmo Cougar, Smokey Bear and the Orem Owlz owl, and an eagle. Parade goers got a look at casts and costumes for the summer's production, Eagle Mountain's royalty rode over, and a couple rode by in a red convertible with a "Just .Married" sign on the back. Bailey Bunker headed up a group of cowboys, and Shawn Warenski waved from his horse-drawn hearse. What is a parade without with-out candy? Toothbrush-wielding Toothbrush-wielding Super Dentist was bopping all day-sucker-wielding Cavity Ninjas. People in the Lone Peak Dental truck were throwing candy to the crowd and so was everyone else. "That hurt," one girl said as a sucker landed on her arm. Cowboys, floats, local businesses and squirt guns, a marching band and dancers, danc-ers, and Operation Smile, what else does a parade need? Try a few martial artists art-ists and some handsprings from the Lone Peak Knights cheerleaders--and not just one. The whole squad took turns. By the time they reached the swollen creek in Heritage Park, their faces were flushed and an obliging oblig-ing spectator cooled them with a water balloon-powered squirt gun. |
