Western teenage driver

Brennen Gonzalez, 13, St. John, passes the lines to Anker Evans during the St. John community fair parade. Gonzalez had been driving his family’s Percheron team all morning before the hand off. Evans, Auburn, is a driver and friends with Brennen’s father, Guy who is wearing the white hat, standing behind the seat. Brennen began driving when he was 7 years old and only passed the lines because he was getting tired and wanted Evans to have a turn, according to his mother, Carie. Janet Leifer photos.
