We had our yearly Magrath Day celebrations recently.
Friday morning was a rainy free pancake breakfast at the local bank. Lunch was a free hamburger, or hotdog, pop and chips at the local insurance company. Supper we ate in a hurry, as we rushed out the door to attend the "Magrath Family Rodeo and Bullriding". We were lucky to get free tickets (thanks Grandpa and Nana Moore). Adrian, Kenny, and Nicole all tried to catch the pig, and the chicken, but didn't succeed. Our friend Bruston Holthe (the same age as Kenny), did catch the pig, and got to keep it....so they butchered it!. We watched people try to dress the calves, then watched as the cowboys attepted to ride the big bucking bulls. We got home and decorated the three kids bikes for the parade the next day before heading to bed late.
Saturday mom was responsible for the parade so she was busy all morning. Dad was helping with radio communications. Kenny changed his mind and didn't want to be in the parade, and Adrian's tire popped just as it was time to leave for the parade line up. So that left only Nicole in the parade. She was happy to win 2nd place for best decorated bike, and $5 in cash. All the other kids sat with Grandpa and Nana Moore, while Mom and Dad were busy. The parade was bigger then last year, and Mom was happy to have Dads help with communications and traffic. The afternoon was filled with astro jumps, fun races, lawnmower races, petting zoo, show and shine, quilt display, silent auction and talent show. In the evening, we had our free beef on a bun, and watch the town program and Trevor Panzack preform with his band. The evening ended with a amazing firework display. It was a great night!
