The 13-year-old carrying a multicolored umbrella was about twice as tall as almost everyone at the event.

Duane Zanotelli, a former Trinidad band teacher who recently moved to Fremont County, played his saxophone at the occasion. "I saw an ad about the festival, called the number on it and set this up," he said.
