Bear Paw Festival

We started off the day with the Grande Parade. This year's Bear Paw Festival theme was Pirates of the Bear-a-bean. So the parade was full of pirates...

Later we watched the Slippery Salmon Olympics. Two-person teams race to maneuver an obstacle course while carrying a salmon and a tray with a cup of soda on it... Things get pretty messy quick!


Alicia May had a great time on the pony ride. Her steed was named Ringo. She had a nice 5 minute ride around the pony wheel.



After consuming lots of fair food including a burger, funnel cake, corn fritters and an ice cream bar, Tess took some chances at dunking one of our State reps in the dunking booth. No luck, but I got a good photo!

The weather was iffy all day... it rained on and off. But for the most part, it wasn't too bad, and it didn't seem to deter the crowds!
