Rex Allen Days - 2016

This is Rex Allen.
I had never even heard of him until we moved to Willcox, but he is our
small town's claim to fame.  Known as "The Singing Cowboy", his name
is well known throughout southern Arizona for his western movies.

Every fall, we have a three day celebration in honor of this home-grown celebrity



Saturday morning's parade was a big hit as always!











Isaac and Joshua anxiously await more candy thrown their way!











Okay, so after a pretty bad selfie attempt, we went across town to Keiler Park
for the vendors and carnival!











Joe and Joshua chose to go on this twirling cup ride!



Isaac and I went on the Ferris Wheel - yes, that's us at the top in the yellow basket!



And here is the Ferris Wheel all lit up at night!

Beautiful!



This morning we attended church in the park!
It was sponsored by two local churches and was wonderful.
The worship time was fabulous!



So all in all, we had a busy........and sunburned (for me!) weekend!
