One thing I am known for is my love of pioneer stories. Ok, that's not even a little bit true. I am actually known as the girl who visibly cringes anytime someone starts to talk about the Martin & Willie handcart company. Am I a bad person? Probably. But that's not really the point of this post.
In Utah, we celebrate the 24th of July as the day that the Mormon Pioneers first entered the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. The fact that I do not love, love pioneer stories does not stop me from celebrating Pioneer Day. This year, I went to the Bountiful Parade. (It helped that my apartment is along the parade route and all I had to do was walk outside my front door.) I also went to see the final Harry Potter movie. I may have even made the comparison that Harry Potter, like each of us, is a pioneer in his own right. And that, my friends, is how Pioneer Day is done.
