Since the first year Dallin and I have been in Richfield we have gone to Nephi the weekend after the 4th of July to the Ute Stampede (It is a rodeo). We started this tradition 3 years ago. We went just for something to do and we really enjoyed it and decided we would go each year. The rodeo goes on for 3 different nights. Each day they ahve a parade before the rodeo. The first year we went we happened to hit what the call the "Bathing Beauties" parade. It is a bunch of high school girls in swim suits being paraded down their main street on either big nice trucks or classic old cars. Can you imagine how well something like that would go over in Blanding. I honestly could not believe that they were doing it, but as we got asking some people they said they do it ever year. Kinda Crazy.

Ute Stampede
This year was no different. We hit up the Bathing Beauties parade, then we went up to Spansih Fork for some Bajio. Then that night the Rodeo. Every year they have a man sky dive into the Arena with a huge America Flag attached to him, it is pretty cool, then right before the end event they do a bunch of fireworks. We decided this year that as long as we are living in Utah we will try and make it to the Ute Stampede as a family tradition.

How fun! I definitely agree the the "Bathing Beauties" parade would not happen in Blanding!! And I'll be thankful for that!:)
I wish we could have gone with you guys! It would have been really fun. that picture of you and dallin is really cute!
Wow, sounds like some creepy guy's dream come true. What are their parent's thinking? Glad that you finally updated, I was starting to think you gave up. I think I'm going to Nephi Thursday and then staying and riding home with Dev sense he flies in on Monday. Noelle said something about a bbq at her house, maybe you should come up then? Talk to her and let me know!
My bro in Nephi always talks about the rodeo and how much fun it is. We'll have to try it out next year.
We are definitely going to check out the Ute Stampede next year! It sounds like you guys had so much fun
Wow, they must have a parade committee of all men. Take a snap shot of that and you could make a calendar it sounds like. I'm glad you guys had fun. Rodeos are always fun. I think it's more the atmosphere than anything else that I love.
wow that sounds like a lot of fun except the bathin beauties thing is really weird
