The Wendover Parade involving both West Wendover and Wendover Utah cities was a great success this year, with many more float entries than last year.

The crowd, as usual took umbrage under the trees, but no offense was meant here, only the coolness of the shade, against the blazing sun. The children didn’t hesitate to rush after thrown candies, while admiring the very entertaining floats, vehicles, horses and performers.
