Throwing Streets

We are back in internet range and have dozens of stories to tell.

When we "lay out the city" in the pageant, the a series of streamers are thrown and stretched across the stage to represent the streets. This is referred to as "throwing the streets". Erin and Weston got to throw Main Street this year - the longest of the streets.

Here are some images of them laying out Main Street. In the first image Weston is standing behind Parley P. Pratt.







In the second image they have both turned to run to opposite sides of the stage.




Before one of the performances I was out talking to people who were waiting for the show to start. They were Orem and I talked to them a long time. As I was about to leave I felt compelled to ask them if they knew any Adams, we tried a few connections but could not find anything. Then I thought to ask if they perhaps knew any Bellows. One of them said, "The only Bellows I know is Marion Bellows. We lived near each other and we used to walk to school together."

All I could think to say is "That's my Mom!"

Her name is Elaine Anderberg; I called Mom later and she confirmed that she remembered Elaine as well.
