Marching Back to The Old West

Salinans enjoyed a slice of America Saturday as an “All American” parade marched down Santa Fe Avenue to lead into an Old West street festival.

 

An old chuck wagon was on display with its many wares and kitchen tools.

 

Old and young alike jammed onto the block in front of the Smoky Hill Museum for the Street Fair’s music and throwback activities.
