Taylorsville Dayzz


Once again we gathered.

This time for Taylorsville Dayzz, smack dab in the middle of Sen. Waddoups home district. We’re guessing he was out making sure no liquor store opened before 11 AM since his presence wasn’t obvious at the parade. In fact, except for a smattering of illegally placed signs, there was no indication that Mike Winder was in attendance either.

Mark Crockett, however, was there. And this may be a clear sign of what both Republican camps are assuming.

That said, Crockett’s campaign paid for the space next to our booth at the festival following the parade. Yet I stayed in our booth until about 2:00 PM, and the Crockett space remained empty; no awning, no volunteers, and no signs... just a patch of grass. Make of that what you will.

On the other side of our booth Mia Love and her followers were keeping up an active presence. She and her husband were friendly and spent a good while bantering with our volunteers. Mia emphasized repeatedly that she had the highest regard for Ben, “But,” she said, “since I don’t live in Salt Lake County, I can’t vote for him.”

She made it sound as if she did, she would. I wonder?

What follows is a collection of photos from the parade.

Enjoy!

who do you suppose applied the letters?)
