This is my mother's original 'Queen 1936' sash..wow..75 years old.
Macy, 4
Kami, 6
On the float, just before it started out...we were #11 & #12...there were about 150 entries...the parade started at 9:00 am, and the last entry finished around 11:30 am.
My three darlings... the queen bloodline runs true...
This picture was taken by a Deseret News reporter. She was also on the Channel 5 and 13 news that night. For the feature parade story, she beat out the The Days of 47 SLC Parade, soldiers, bands, the Osmonds, assorted LDS Church General Authories (oops) and politicians. Go Girls in the Short Skirt!The caption reads: BETH SCHLANKER/Standard-Examiner Melissa Fowler — the granddaughter of Lorene Donaldson, the Ogden Pioneer Day Rodeo queen, or “Whoopee Girl,” in 1936 — rides atop a float with daughters (from left) Kami, 6, and Macy, 4, during the Pioneer Day Parade on Friday. The float is a re-creation of the 1964 parade float Fowler’s grandmother rode when organizers were reflecting on 30 years of the Whoopee Girl image. .

so cool!!! they look great
Thanks for asking us to do it. We loved it. You mixed up the girl's names though.
Well, they're both so dang cute and they're dressed alike..who could tell? I've changed it now.
Melissa looks great on that float. Kinda surprised they didn't ask you to put that outfit on and ride on the float though! Smile!
