IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - City officials in the eastern Idaho town of St. Anthony want to set a new ATV parade record by drawing at least 2,276 participants to the St. Anthony ATV and Sand Rail Parade in June.

If that many riders show up, it would double the record set last summer in Kentucky when 1,138 riders took part.

City officials also hope to put the town on the map as an ATV riding area for tourists by setting the parade record.

“That would give St. Anthony some pretty good bragging rights,” said City Councilman David Loomis, who's promoting the event through his company, Bent River Productions.

The idea grew from the City Council trying to find more ways to draw people to the area, the Post Register reported.

As tentatively planned, the parade route would stretch five miles from St. Anthony to the Desert Oasis RV Park at the St. Anthony Sand Dunes, a favorite ATV riding area.
