Ketchum Wagon Wheelin’

Big Hitch parades again

Like a giant, serpentine creature, the Wagon Days Parade centerpiece, the Big Hitch, snakes through the center of Ketchum on Saturday as hoards of onlookers gather to watch. The ore wagons used in the parade are relics from the area’s mining past. As they were in the late-1800s, the wagons were pulled by a team of mules that obey a peculiar system of commands to turn corners. The ore wagons used in the Big Hitch were once used by early Ketchum entrepreneur Horace Lewis as part of his Ketchum Fast Freight Line. Express photo by David N. Seelig
