Dear friends and missionaries

Thank you for your support in joining the

friends and artists of Little Bloomsbury
Foundation & Pioneer Art Festival to pay
tribute to our pioneers by pulling handcarts.
According to Logan City, this is the very first
time they have handcarts in the Pioneer
Parade!

We are grateful to our sponsor ICON Health

& Fitness for their very fine support. Their
long-term vision is to present a complete
timeline of settlers from the 1800s to the
present day! The Watterson Family will also
join us in the parade. Please say hello and
express your appreciation for them.

STEP 1 (10:45 AM 11:15 AM): We gather

together to draw up a masterplan in
distributing a total of 19 handcarts between
10:45 AM 11:15 AM at 242 S 100 W, Logan
(across the street from the tennis courts of
the Logan Recreation Center or the west-end
parking lot of Beehive Grill.)

STEP 2 (11:20 AM): We need to have made up

our formation of 19 handcarts, have an
opening prayer, and cross the street in a
systematically manner to get in line at Logan
Recreation Center at 300 S 100 W.

STEP 3 (11:30 AM): From the Recreation

Center and under the direction of Logan City,
we will walk three blocks north to 100 W
Center Street where the parade will officially
kick off.

WE ARE NO. 5 IN THE PARADE (AFTER FIRE DEPARTMENT): There are a
total of 69 registered participants (or participating groups) in the parade.
Logan City Fire Department will hold the flag and lead the parade with
three other entrants including a horse-drawn vintage fire engine and other
gear that will for sure fascinate our little ones. The Little Bloomsbury
Handcart Procession is No. 5 in the parade.
STEP 4 (12 PM noon): The parade kicks off
and heads west for four blocks up to 500 W
and then turn southward toward Willow Park
where we finish.
The total distance is a 1.6 mile (16 blocks).

PARKING: We start off in downtown Logan and finish at Willow Park. The designated pick-up area at Willow Park (blue box in
map above) is at about 300 W 650 S, Logan. Please try to arrange transportation in such a way that you do not have to walk
all the way back to where we started to pick up your vehicle.

LATECOMERS & LATE JOINERS: We dont plan on anyone being late. But in case you do run late, do not panic. We are the first
procession after the Fire Department and should be easy to find with our 19 handcarts. And if you have friends and
associates who wish to join us in pulling the handcart at the last minute, please have them come too!
PIONEER CLOTHING & PROTECTION: Participants may come in simple pioneer-like clothing. Sister missionaries are
encouraged to find whatever in their wardrobe (if any) that comes closest to pioneer-like, e.g. a longer skirt or dress. Please
use sunscreen and try to wear long sleeves and comfortable shoes.

LUGUAGE: Feel free to put empty boxes inside the cart and/or throw a few blankets or quilts over it to make it look authentic.

CHILDREN TRAVELLING INSIDE HANDCART: If you anticipate your small children to be riding inside the handcart some of the
time, you may like to bring a few pillows for them to sit on to be more comfortable during the one-hour parade.

MUSIC: Please let us know if you are musically inclined. We need help to lead and orchestrate our impromptu music program!

THE EXPERIENCE THAT COUNTS: Lets take time to reflect on the amazing things the pioneers had done, and what amazing
things we too can do and overcome together as a people. We encourage you to jot down your thoughts and feelings in your
journal after the parade and share your choice experiences with others and in the social media.

TREK POLICY ON ELECTRONIC DEVICES: Since this is a solemn occasion for us to pay tribute to our pioneers, we encourage all
to turn off their electronic devices and refrain from taking photos with any kind of device DURING the parade. There will be
plenty of opportunities to take pictures and/or videos before and at the end of the parade. (During the parade, historian,
author, and Little Bloomsbury artist Darrin Smith will be taking some photos.)

CANDY: There are usually a lot of leftover candy or uncollected candy at the end of the day. If you really want to do throw
candy, Logan City advised that you aim for the sidewalk and not throw candy to anyone who runs onto the road/parade route.

POLICING: The parade route will be monitored by Police. Parade participants who do not adhere to rules, even after they've
been warned, will not be allowed by Logan City to participate in the parade next year.

FREE AGGIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES with GREAT HARVEST BREAD COOKIES AFTER PARADE: We invite all to join us at Little
Bloomsbury Pioneer Art Festival at 181 N 200 E, Logan (below Logan Temple and where the teepee is), any time after the
parade for great art and refreshments. It should be a great venue for missionary work too. We will re-open at 2 PM 9 PM.

MAGIC SHOW & STORYTELLING CONCERT AT 6 PM: Handcart pullers of all ages are cordially invited to join us at this
concluding event of the four-day Little Bloomsbury Pioneer Art Festival at 181 N 200 E, Logan for a great get-together and
experience-sharing. All activities are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

LITTLE BLOOMSBURY FOUNDATION: Little Bloomsbury Foundation is an arts-related 501C (3) peace organization. The mission
of our all-volunteer force is to promote peace and hope in an uncertain world through the arts and humanities. The
Foundation organizes three art festivals a year: Spring Art Festival at the last weekend of April, Ice Cream Summer Art Festival
on Fathers Day weekend, and Pioneer Art Festival on Pioneer Day weekend.
The theme of our Spring Art Festival on April 26 28, 2018 is OVERCOMING TOGETHER. The award-eligible deadline is April
1. Early-bird submissions on or before April 1 will also be eligible to be chosen by the panel as the poster image. The final
deadline is April 13. Artists whose work is accepted will be invited to an exclusive Preview, Award Ceremony & Reception,
sponsored by Utah Division of Arts & Museums and Blue Bird Restaurant. The Preview is scheduled on Tuesday, April 17 (10
days before the show opens to the public). Utah Poet Laureate Paisley Rekdal will give a Masterclass in Poetry at the end of
the preview. Participants may prepare their artist statements in a poetic form.
The work of Little Bloomsbury Foundation is aimed at strengthening local and visiting populations with creative, educational,
and validating events that are FREE & OPEN TO ALL AGES. We began as a housewarming party 11 years ago and preserves the
same welcoming spirit in the setting of a historic home on 200 E below Logan Temple, where the teepee is. Art submissions
and performance auditions are competitive and open to all. This helps make our events accessible and inviting to the arts
circle and all others in a diverse community who wish to connect but may not find the usual art gallery or concert hall their
comfort zone.
The Foundation is sponsored by Utah Division of Arts & Museums and community-minded organizations including but not
limited to Cache Valley Morning Rotary Club, ICON Health & Fitness, Aggie Creamery, Great Harvest Bread, Square One
Printing, American West Heritage Center, Blue Bird Restaurant, Black Pearl Restaurant, Firehouse Pizza, Cafe Sabor,
Anniversary Inn, Thirteen-Eight Productions, Lees Marketplace, Country Village Antique Mall, Chinese Massage, Michaels,
and Fast Forward High School where our award-winning teepee creator Andy Worrall is the art teacher.
