Katie Smith just recently returned from
South Dakota, and these are just a few of the photos she took while there.
She attended the annual CZECH Days parade in Tabor, South Dakota. It is
billed as the worlds "longest parade". It was more bearable when they had
the beer floats come by occasionally...but in recent years, they no longer have
floats with "oompa bands" and Kegs for the parade watchers to refill their
glass.
