Feb 4, 2012 -- Wellton Days Parade

"100 Year Anniversary"



Wellton, AZ -- Feb 4th, 2012


The parade started shortly after 10 am and was continuous for about an hour. Both sides of the main road in Wellton were lined up with locals, and people from the surrounding area. Plus lots of snowbirds, we being some of them. The parade is well organized and the town puts on quite a splash to celebrate. After the parade is over the locals and those from out of town gather in the Butterfield Park. There are many places to purchase something to eat, be it ribs, sandwiches, chicken roasted, hot dogs, hamburgers and many other varietites to select from. Also many booths to purchase local crafts from.
