May 2007 We had a fantastic Pioneer Day Parade photos here & a very fun Founders Day. Great band at Founders Day. Photos here. My first TG Pioneer Week was 30 years ago, the Chico Flour Mill. I'll never forget building the Quad. We worked on it all night. In the morning when I was done, while leaving the area, I finally stopped and looked at what we just built. I was just amazed at what we had accomplished. Later that week, my first parade as a TG. It was so much fun. I'm on the far right here, just after we won sweepstakes.
