Growing up I can remember having picnics and gatherings all over the states (Texas, Utah, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Oregon, Iowa, & Colorado) to celebrate our great pioneers ancestors and their arrival in the Salt Lake Valley. The tradition lives on here in Harlo, we had a picnic on the 24th. It was fun to get together in a causal setting. All the pictures are for me so I can remember the people in the Branch years from now.

I think I really like the people in your Branch. Looks like you did not lack for delicious food. These guys are really cowboys. I like that you have all different ages. I would like to have heard the explanation of pioneer home remedies. Hope you had fun.
