My neighbor raised Clydesdales. He served on the Board of Trustees for the Clydesdale Breeders of the United States Association and was inducted into the Clydesdale Breeders of the US Heritage Hall of Fame in 2009. Died not long after that. Mom is a good friend with his wife still.
That was a long time ago but I'm pretty they did provide horses to Lagoon at one point. I know they always went in the Pioneer Days Parade on the 24th.
I loved Lagoon as a kid. Lots of happy memories. And saw some good concerts when I was a teen. Bobby Vee, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and a few others. I remember I wore a tan Nehru jacket and a medallion to one with my straw blonde Beatle haircut. Those were the days . . .
She loved riding the rides. She took me on the old roller coaster when I was 5. Her favorite ride was the octopus. I loved that ride, too. Not many places have an octopus any longer. We had my dad's family reunion there for several years, too, on Sundays no less.
