Thanks for all the great photos, the video and slide show of celebrations around the state. Hopefully fun was had by most.

Even though the author intended for the story to be positive and optimistic, it was really negative to read. America may have its problems, but for crying out loud, it's the greatest country in the world and let's just set one day aside and think of the positive!

I think JDart is a cougar in disguise. He spends more time in Provo than the BYU fans do.

The Parade is a great thing in Provo however the crowds that block every single pathway on the sidewalks,streets and backways is extremely dangerous for those walking. It is disrespectful to block every single pathway. The only way things will change if an emergency happens during these parades and someone has to suffer because the Police, Fire Department and Ambulance has no access to the one who is suffering. Then maybe the city of Provo will get the idea.

Come on anonymous, if you are going to rip me atleast use your board name :). Being a Utah County native, I do spend more time than I wish in Provo, but I love my family and spend holidays with them. But well played on the trash talking, that was awesome!
