Final week of Manti pageant starts well

The final week of the Manti Mormon Miracle Pageant has begun with perfect weather and larger than usual crowds.  14,000 patrons viewed the pageant Tuesday evening under clear skies.  The final four days of the pageant are ahead with above average crowds expected each evening.  The pageant is in its 53rd season and will end on Saturday.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced earlier that this is the final year for the pageant, and many people are making one more trip to Manti to view the production.  The gates open at 6 p.m., and the pageant begins about 9:30 p.m.   Tickets are not required.
