Pageants celebrate local history, church heritage
Mormons involved in the local Western region pageants invest in their productions which include the Clarkston "Martin Harris, the man who knew" pageant in Cache Valley, the Mormon Miracle pageant in Manti, the Mesa Arizona Easter pageant, and the Castle Valley Pageant in Emery County. They are in the cast. They sew costumes. They usher and in some cases, even serve up dinner.
The Clarkston Pageant showcases the life of Martin Harris, who risked his reputation and fortune to finance the first printing of the Book of Mormon.
It also serves to validate the feeling many Clarkston residents have toward Harris whom they claim as one of their own.
