Border Days 2015, Day Two, also known as Happy 4th of July!



Day two of Border Days started with Nicole helping with the Street Sports fun in the morning.  That meant she held the finish line for the foot races and helped hand out eggs for the egg toss.  Grangeville doesn't mess around with these things.  They often have over 1000 participants in the egg toss.  That's a lot of protein!


Following the street sports was parade number two.  Still not fun for Nicole's horse, but they got through it.  Then it was time for the annual Royalty Luncheon when all the visiting royalty are invited to come together for a meal.  There weren't as many guests as usual because of a parade in another nearby town, but it all went well.  One more thing crossed off the list.


Then time for another rodeo.  It was killer hot and it was an early rodeo at 2pm.  Wearing a polyester shirt and leather chaps is not the best wardrobe for 95+ degree heat, but this cowgirl was a trooper and did just fine.



She especially enjoyed the break she had when she got to come sit in the shade of the bleachers with us regular folk.  Her sweet cousin Taylor took a picture with her of their "matching" flag shirts.  And they had fun cheering on the barrel racers together.  "Go, go, go!"
