This is Marty Carpenter of the Salt Lake Chamber with your Utah Business Report.
In July of 1847, the pioneers first entered the Salt Lake Valley. And this July we will celebrate that legacy with the Days of 47.
This year's theme is "Pioneers - Our Anchor for the Future." From July 12th through July 24th, the calendar will be packed with a variety of events to celebrate our Utah heritage, including concerts and festivals.
Of course, the most popular and well-known event is the Days of '47 Rodeo. This year, the chute opens on the rodeo on July 19th and runs every day except Sunday through Pioneer Day. And this year, the Days of '47 Rodeo is back at EnergySolutions Arena.
And of course, everything leads up to the Days of '47 KSL 5 Parade that will take place in downtown Salt Lake City on July 24th.
So start planning your Pioneer Day celebration. For a complete list of everything going on, visit DaysOf47.com. That's DaysOf47.com.
