This is the Place Heritage Park by Steve L.
On Thursday, for Pioneer Day, we went to This is the Place Heritage Park. When we got there they were about to do a little parade through to village, so we quickly got dressed up and joined in. Then we went and walked around the village. They had a barber shop, a ZCMI store, a bank, a petting zoo and lots of activities (like stamping leather, a mini train ride, and coloring wooden fish and snakes.) My favoirte place was the blacksmith's shop, where they were really making things out of metal. A little later, they did a candy cannon. They took a real cannon, loaded it with explosives and candy and fired it into the crowd! After that there was a mad scramble. I only got 3 pieces, but it was fun!

Excellent pictures, Steve. They fired the candy cannon into the crowd? Was anyone hurt? What a sweet way to go. (I can do puns like that to a cartoonist.)
