Scenes from the end of the parade. The usual was the Nederland Fire Department with equipment. The man in the miner's outfit is the local Gold mine owner Tom Henderson. He was showing us fool's gold, which is in the pyrite family (I think). At the end, instead of following the fire truck down Snyder to Third St, he took a short cut down Second.
The town is really filled with people today for the Miner's day. There were tents set up on First Street with people selling various things. The Senior Center did a Pancake Breakfast as a fund raiser, and the Library had a book sale. So there was plenty to do.
Done at the Ball Park there were plenty of activities with Miner games. I did not go as it was very hot in the sun. They were selling food and had a loud speaker system for the various events. I could hear a lot of it at the house, as the sound carries in the mountains.
All in all a very interesting day.
