I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I spent mine with the in-laws. My mother-in-law and I spent a lot of time on Ancestry.com adding information to the family tree. The kids got along fairly well with their cousins despite a few upsets about a lost pen now-and-again. (My daughters are artists and take their art supplies very seriously.)
With parades and football games yesterday, I thought it would be fun to take a look back through old photos of parades and football games from earlier days. These aren’t all from Thanksgiving events, but they’re fun to look through all the same.
All of these photos are from the Colorado State University Digital Archive – specifically from the University Historic Photograph Collection Blog.
