On July 27 and 28 we went to several Pioneer Day celebrations in different branches-- they all celebrate it with a fairly similar program in each branch-- they watch the movie Legacy in Khmer, then have youth act out various scenes from the restoration, then have various ages group dance the virginia reel to "Turkey in the Straw", dressed in pioneer costumes. Then food afterwards. Very fun. The little Primary kids dressed as pioneers and dancing was so cute. The pictures below are from the Vietnamese-speaking branches-- they also had some traditional Vietnamese dancing from the young women.
They loved having us wear our "Trek" clothes

These kids were darling-- they sang "You Raise Me Up" (Josh Groban) in English and it was absolutely endearing.
