Manchester, N.Y. — Crews early this week were just about finished building the stage for one of the world's largest outdoor stage performances — the Hill Cumorah Pageant.

Meanwhile, merchants were preparing for one of their busiest weeks.

\"I'm hoping for hot weather,\" said Les Thomas, owner of Candy Corner Fudge Square on East Main Street in Palmyra.

Ice cream, he said, is one of his biggest sellers during pageant time. Thomas said each year he stocks up, making at least two times the normal amount of fudge and candies he normally carries.
