I know I haven't blogged for a while on mine, because I've been so busy. I wanted to show a cultural tradition that everyone in Utah does. I hope that you enjoy it.
Pioneer
Day is mostly celebrated in Utah, because that’s where the Pioneers
have arrived when they were carried in handcarts and wagon trains. There
are some rodeos and parades that happen in the state around Pioneer
Day, just like the Fourth of July. Some, who have experienced living in
Utah, may have some pioneer relatives that have walked across the
country for months to try to get to Utah where they can live their own
religious beliefs there. 
The
customs that Pioneer Day has is talking about their experiences and how
they have been part of Utah’s history. One of these things that the
Pioneers have done was doing so much work with less spare time on
themselves. If all of us still lived in the time of the pioneers, then
we would have to do a lot of chores and that we wouldn’t have so much
technology like we have today. Despite about all the labor the Pioneers
may have done, we still love enjoying the historical events about the
Pioneers, especially the way that they talk about their experiences and
the way they have been dressed. Sometimes, even on Pioneer Day, we go to
a National Park called “This is the Place,” compared to that quote that
Brigham Young said. The people in Utah, including my family and I enjoy
Pioneer Day, because it’ll give us great stories about why the Pioneers
came to Utah and the things that they have done to make Utah one of the
best places to be in America.
People
celebrate it by going to parades, seeing fireworks, and even going to a
National Park about Pioneers called This Is the Place. The National
Park can also show of how Pioneers did different skills then the kinds
of skills that we have today. They can have some fun things that they
have done and that they would learn how to do crafts, that the Pioneer
workers make and that they’ll be able to take a ride around a train or
even a horse carriage.
Also at the park, they all go inside a pavilion to have a barbecue that
they set up, depending on what kind of food they have. Some other
booths at the National Park can be selling buttered corn. They also can
go into farm pens where they can pet the animals that the National Park
owns. They also have this special drama in the middle of a road where
they shoot candy out of cannon for all the children, (and adults). This
Is the Place National Park is the most amazing park that they always
love to go to every Pioneer Day, because there are Pioneers working the
experience to the visitors to learn about them.
Pioneer Day is one of the cultural traditions in Utah that happen every
July 24. At the night of Pioneer Day, they always go to a special place
where they set up the aerial fireworks. Then when the fireworks are
over, everyone goes home and they all remember the wonderful day they
have been having while celebrating Pioneer Day.
