I live in a beautiful small town in central Utah by the name of Fairview. No stop lights, most places shut down by 9 p.m. There is a bank (open till 1), a diner, a dairy freeze, and 2 gas stations. Here is a link to mapquest.
Fairview, Ut
The fun here happens during the 24th of July, (Pioneer Day - State holiday). There is the firemans wakeup at 6am where the firetrucks go around town and wake up the people. Then you have the fun run, a 5k at 6:30, and the firemans breakfast at the park at 7. This is where the firefighters cook pancakes, eggs and sausage and serve it for the towns people who will come out.
Then there are the parades. Little kids first, riding their bicycles or mini floats (wagons decorated to look like covered wagons) down state street.
Next comes the Mammoth parade - named because there was a wolly mammoth found up our canyon in 1985. A replica of it is in our museum.

These are some pics of the last parade.
