So what amazing things did you all do to celebrate?

My relative in Brigham City says there will be fireworks there tonight. At least I didn't hear about pioneer reenactment catastrophes this year.

Had 3 beers so far

I always loved it as a kid. Big extended family party. New cap gun and rolls of caps. Most of the time a new hat too.

I moved to Missouri and have not celebrated it in decades. It is increasingly becoming a non-event for my Utah relatives. Just another artifact of the long dead world I came from.

Were I there, I'd probably have gone to Fischer Brewing with BYU Boner for a couple ice cold pints!

In some areas Pioneer day will be observed on Saturday.

as most people in the whole town were lighting them off for hours.

I don't celebrate it or 4th of July or Memorial DAy really or Labor Day. Just another day of the week.

When I was young, we'd have a round the block parade and my mom often dressed us as pioneers and put cardboard on our trikes and bikes to make them look like covered wagons. I have been out long enough I haven't a clue if they have anything.

Oh wait, there was a note on my front door about a party over at the bishop's with food and fireworks. This bishop seems to like to have parties a lot at his house and he has a huge back yard. This ward isn't bad. Most of the time they leave me alone. There are just a choice few.
