Miner's Jubilee parade

The parade began with rain but ended in smiles as we made our way through Baker City! The parade, beginning at 10 am, is always a favorite event of Miner's Jubilee for locals and travelers alike and this year's was no exception. Despite the threatening sky people turned out in droves, eagerly awaiting the entries and the candy!

Trail Tenders as well as several employees excitiedly gathered before the festivities to get the wagon and banner in place as well as take some pictures of the event. By the time the parade started our pioneer garb was in place and we all held heaping pans full of sparkling gold nuggets (butterscotch candy) to dispense to eagerly awaiting hands.

We were not dissapointed! Walking on either side of the horse drawn wagon, with banner proudly displayed, we smiled, waved, and threw candy to all the little children (and some sweet toothed adults). It was another great year at Miner's Jubilee! A big thank you to all of you who made the parade and the Trail Tender's booth  such a success!

We look forward to seeing you all again next year!
