In July 2012, Joel’s sister invited us up to visit their cabin in Duck Creek, UT. With so many family members visiting we all got into the 4th of July spirit.

Our plan for the weekend was to decorate a trailer our brother-in-law brought up, dress up in costumes, then drive onto the parade route and throw candy out to the crowd.


Our costumes, ketchup and mustard, seemed appropriate since most people use them at their holiday barbecues.


Many others were full of holiday spirit too.


Below, folks lined up along the parade route. Most “residents” actually live elsewhere, primarily in Southern Nevada, and have a 2nd home in Duck Creek for weekend and vacation getaways. This holiday weekend draws a huge crowd, many drive up from Las Vegas, NV to enjoy the cooler temperatures in the middle of summer.
