The Mascoutah Homecoming

Every year we head out to the Mascoutah picnic which is always the first weekend of August. We usually set up our chairs early in the morning so that we will have a good spot for the parade. After the parade we usually walk around the picnic, let the kids ride a few rides, listen to the band and get a bite to eat.


Here is the boys waiting patiently for the parade to come by, candy bags in hand.

There are always a lot of tractors at the Mascoutah Homecoming.

Here was a relay type sled race that we watched for a bit. The girls on the sled had to ride it down to the other end of the rink, stack several bales of hay, and then get back on and ride it back to the starting point.

At the end of the night, Grandma Bonnie bought all the kids snow cones. What a way to end the evening.
