I never would go to them. But I had to go to the Orem parade a few weeks ago because my 11-year-old daughter and my wife were in it. I took my took my two little boys, and they had a fantastic time--chasing after candy, getting excited over the floats. I still don't like them myself, but if I can find a shady spot, I might suffer through the Orem one annually so my little boys can enjoy it.
