Our ward usually has a barbecue to honor the graduating seniors. It started when I was Young Women's President and my secretary, Nicole Knutson, had done this in her home ward when she was growing up. It's called the HOGS barbecue (Honoring Our Graduating Seniors), and our ward has held it almost every year since then. Since gathering in large groups is not allowed, our ward decided to do a parade to honor the seniors. The kids would stand in their driveways and ward members would drive by and could throw out treats and prizes. Denya and Britta decorated the driveway.
Our happy senior!
Bishop Bellum and his family led the parade.
Most cars had congratulations posters or decorations.
Ryan got some mardi gras necklaces, lots of candy, and a few gift cards.
Nancy Brown waves from her pretty jeep.
It was really fun to see some of our ward members after no church for two months.
There are 6 graduating seniors in our ward and we were first on the route, so we jumped in the car at the end of the parade and joined the caravan to drive by the other houses. It was quite fun to scream and cheer and all the kids looked so happy. These parades have been so fun! Maybe they will become a new tradition.
