The Stock Show Parade in downtown Denver, Colorado

The smell of livestock was rich in Denver Thursday at high noon. Horses, longhorn steers, and even alpacas, mingled with people as they paraded along 17th Street through the financial district, from Union Station to Broadway.
Roughly 300 people to a block swarmed the streets and hung out of balconies along the route to get a good look at the animals, and cowgirls and cowboys dressed in Western finery.
The Stock Show parade has acted as the kicking off to the National Western Stock Show for decades.
