Cokeville held its annual Pioneer Day Celebration on Saturday, July 22.

The day began with the David Dayton Memorial Fun Run at 7:00 a.m. It was followed by breakfast at the park sponsored by the CHS sophomore class.

Elder Hammond was the Grand Marshal for the parade, accompanied by his wife, and President Gary Teuscher and his wife.

Elder Hammond was the guest speaker for the program at the L.D.S. Church, and then the Cokeville 1st Ward put on a fabulous roast beef dinner.

The Cokeville Stock and Saddle Company entertained that evening with a very lively rodeo. The day concluded with a dance at the L.D.S. Church. The day was successful thanks  to all who attended and especially those who worked hard to make everything run smoothly.
