Another great Pioneer Day in Paso Robles on Saturday.
It started very early in the morning with the bean feed, and those volunteers began early on 12th street and Park. David Kudija tells KPRL that those big pots they use were originally whaling pots used in Avila Beach in the 19th century.
While the Lions Club and other volunteers stirred the beans in those big pots, families started arriving for the Children’s Cowgirls and Pioneer Boys contest.
Margaret Wicks says the Cowboy and Cowgirls contest is an old tradition. She didn’t do it when she was young, but her children did 30 years ago.
The parade started at ten Saturday and was packed with antique tractors and other other farm equipment, marching bands. Equestrian teams, classic and antique cars and many family and group entries.
A great Pioneer Day 2022 in Paso Robles. The good news, Margaret Wicks will be chairperson again next year.
