Two reasons to celebrate

 

In Utah, we celebrate Independence Day on the Fourth of July

and three weeks later, we celebrate some more.

 

After fireworks and parades to start the month, we end with more of the same: fireworks and parades to celebrate the 24th of July, the day the Mormon pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley in 1847 and their leader, Brigham Young, announced it was the right place for them to make their home.

 

Yeah for freedom, yeah for independence, yeah for religious freedom, yeah for fireworks and parades!
