52nd Season of Manti Pageant complete

The chairs are put away, the sets are stowed in the warehouse, and the 52^nd season of the Manti Mormon Miracle Pageant is complete.  Final numbers indicate attendance was about on par with previous years with a total of 76,950.  The biggest night by far was the second Friday when almost 14,000 people made the trek to Manti to view over 700 cast members perform the pageant on the Manti Temple hill.  Sunny days and warm evenings made for good weather during the eight-day run, and the dry conditions meant the mosquitoes were at a minimum as well.
