Pageant to celebrate Corinne history
HE HISTORICAL
T
Corinne pageant will be
held Friday and Saturday, June
26 and 27, at the Corinne city
park. Concessions and the preshow with live music begin at 7
p.m. There will be burgers, hotdogs, popcorn, homemade rootbeer, soft drinks and water with
peace cobbler and ice cream
served at intermission. The
show will begin at dusk. Admission is free, but bring your lawn
chairs and blankets. After the
pageant on Friday, there will be
a dance in the park.
In the years 1869-71, amazing things happened in Corinne.
Grand speculation and promotion were on the rise and promoters could see that the Union
Pacific railroad would build
through the Bear River marshes
on toward Promontory and
eventually meet with the Central Pacific Railroad. They started planning a great American
city. A town site was laid out
in a bend of the Bear River. By
March 1869, 500 frame buildings and tents had been erected,
housing a permanent population
of 1,500 (not to mention 5,000
railroad laborers living in construction camps nearby).
The historical Corinne pageant
brings to life the marshal, who
has his work cut out for him
trying to keep order in a town
full of rowdy cowboys, “soiled
doves” and even the elite who
have visions of grandeur for
Corinne. Gen. Williamson is
included as he attempts to make
Corinne the capital city of Utah.
The pageant also brings to life
Brigham Young as he warns of
the coming collapse of Corinne.
There are historical events
highlighted in the pageant and
some that could only be imagined. The large cast is made up
of people who are local or have
ties to Corinne and offer a surprising variety of talent.
