Pioneer Day is an official holiday celebrated in Utah each year on July 24th. It commemorates the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847, where the Latter-day Saints settled after being forced from other locations in the eastern United States. Parades, fireworks, and other festivities help commemorate the event. Logan and each of its surrounding towns all have their own celebrations and all-day events. Recently moving to North Logan, we decided to partake in their celebration. Susan went to the parade while Jeff was working and both of us got out for the fireworks. Since we live in a flat valley, we were able to not only see North Logan’s fireworks display, but also many others in the area.

Each of the area towns had their own beauty queens in matching dresses. Here’s Wellsville’s beauties.
Caged children? 
Lots of candy to collect!
