The Lord opened doors for Martin Harris pageant
CLARKSTON, Utah — Denzel Clark remembers sitting with Valdo Benson on the Clarkston cemetery hill, anxiously watching for headlights, hoping enough people would come to see the town's Martin Harris pageant to reward the townspeople for their mighty efforts.
When the cars came, one after another after another, it was very much like the famous scene from "Field of Dreams," Clark said.
In hindsight, he's not sure why he ever worried. The Lord has been watching out for the pageant since its inception.
Over the years, as Clark watched Mormon church general authorities and government leaders step in to get a memorial built to Martin Harris but also to see to it that an amphitheater was created for "The Man Who Knew" pageant, he became convinced that it was something the Lord wanted to see happen.
"Our Father in Heaven actually opened all the doors. I was just in a certain place at the right time," said Clark — the former pageant president who is often credited with "starting" the pageant.
