ive decided to post 2 times in 3 days! CRAZY. yesterday amelia and i decided to head back to eureka for the tintic gold and silver festival. the day started off right with a parade down mainstreet. i dont know for sure whether there were more people in than parade than watching it, but i have a feeling the number of spectaters was probably close to the amount of musicians in the tintic high school marching band. i had a couple of favorite parade entries. one being a man who was just walking down the middle of the road playing the squeeze box. brilliant. the other was a fireman who tossed a frisbee to a 10 year old boy. when the boy was unable to catch the frisbee, the fireman didnt hesitate to let the boy know how much he sucked. both are in this weeks video.
after the parade we wandered into the eureka mining museum where we were soon met by a man named bill. Bill had mined in eureka when he was a younger man. in fact, he had mined there for 45 years. he was kind enough to give us our own personal tour of the museum. i know what youre thinking, so what? we were probably the only ones in the museum and he was just excited to have anyone there? WRONG. there were at least 5 other people in that place at any given time who did NOT get a personal tour from bill. he also offered to take us up to the mouth of the mine next time we are in eureka.
anyways, to make a long story short, i won nothing in the auction, not even a hannah montana gift basket. i suppose it is because i didnt bid on anything. who wants to pay 50 bucks for a hannah montana gift basket?
enjoy the picture show.
