The Swedish Festival is a annual event in Kingsburg to honor the founders, who were Swedish. It is held on our main street called Draper. What is so neat about our town is all the buildings have to have a Swedish theme (even the Mc Donalds) so as they say in Kingsburg "if you live here you are part Swedish!" I love this small town (11,000 people strong) everyone knows who you are and we are all a community who cares about each other. This is a fun weekend with parades, the police department has its annual dress inspection, (my step brother Marcos is a cop in town), their is smorgasbord, Swedish pancakes and the raising of the may pole. I only wish they did not do it when it is 105 degrees outside!
Here are the kids waiting for the parade to start. It is the my kids with their step cousins. This year none of the kids were in the parade so it was kind of nice to be able to sit and watch it as a family.
The boys have only one real favorite thing they love to do at the festival and that is to look for used books the library sells every year. Taylor could spend hours their looking, to him its like finding a buried treasure. This year they found some great books on science experiments, how to make paper airplanes, dogs and whales.

Every city should have festivals....I love them!
