💙 Some traditions are definitely worth keeping.
What a day at Peosta Days!
For the second year, Live Like Cam participated in the Peosta Days Parade continuing a tradition Cam had been part of for years.
This year’s theme was Back to the 90s, and our crew definitely went ALL IN. 😂
From Blockbuster and MTV to Pac-Man, giant cell phones, boomboxes and more neon than anyone probably needed, it was so much fun watching all of our crazy ideas come together.
But behind the finished float was something even better…
People showing up. 💙
There were endless volunteer hours spent painting, cutting, building, taping, stuffing bags, making decorations, preparing handouts and bringing this float to life.
A special thank you to Nolan for building our trailer and helping turn all of those ideas into something we could actually take down the parade route.
And thank you to every volunteer…adults AND kids….who gave their time to help us get it done. Live Like Cam continues to be what it is because people continue to show up. 💙
If you swipe through the pictures, you’ll also find a couple from years ago, long before Live Like Cam ever existed, when Cam was the kid riding through Peosta on these floats himself.
Whether it was a Cub Scout float or the neighborhood float, Cam looked forward to participating in Peosta Days and rarely missed a year.
None of us could have imagined back then that one day we would be building a float carrying his name.
This year, some of those same neighbors were there again, joined by family, friends and another generation of kids only now, we were doing it in Cam’s memory. 💙
We threw candy, 90s slap bracelets, Live Like Cam bracelets and even a few koozies. We laughed, made memories and loved seeing so many familiar faces waving and cheering along the route.
And to top off an already pretty special day, we were surprised to learn that our Live Like Cam float received 1st place! 🥇💙
But what we’ll remember most isn’t the placing.
It’s seeing people continue to show up.
It’s watching another generation of kids make memories together.
It’s keeping the things Cam loved going.
And it’s having another opportunity to share his name, his story and the life behind Live Like Cam.
Some traditions change.
Some traditions continue.
And some become part of a legacy. 💙
Not built around one mission.
Built around a life.
Thank you, Peosta, for another incredible Peosta Days and thank you to everyone who helped make this tradition possible.
This one’s for you, Cam. 💙
