'49er Days

From '49er Days Website:

Celebrating its 70th year, Winthrop's 49er Days is a celebration of our rich western and horse history. The event kicks off with the annual Ride the Rendezvous, week-long horsepacking excursion through the Methow Valley high country. As the horse-train enters Winthrop on the final day, the community comes out to celebrate their arrival back home. On Saturday, Winthrop celebrates it's rich Western history with a grand parade including the largest representation by horses of any parade in Washington State. Saturday is a full day of activities for the kids, the cowboys and the cowgirls. Then on Sunday, the cowboys help you celebrate Mother's Day with more events and actiities. All the events are open to the public. Don't miss this historical celebration!
