TITLE: Wagon train event files
DATES: June 1997.
ARRANGEMENT: Alphabetical by topic.

DESCRIPTION: These records document the centennial wagon train, a commemoration of transportation at the time of statehood, which took place in June 1996. The train started in Logan and traveled to Cedar City, with an event happening every night it stopped (including speeches, a wedding, etc.). Each county was represented on the train, though the involvement was smaller outside of Salt Lake City. Information in event files typically includes correspondence, any permits required, invitations and programs, lists of who was invited, photos, preparatory and planning records, catering records, security and crowd control records, donation information, transportation information, chain of command for the event, what was rented or purchased to bring the event to pass, all bids and costs, and records documenting advance trips taken by staff to establish the sites.
