Provo's Freedom Festival

This afternoon I rode my friend's bike down to the Freedom Festival in Downtown Provo. It was so much fun! (Even going alone) Here are a bunch of fun pictures I took. It was kind of like and Avalon thing where everyone sets up booths and sells stuff, and they had a Revolutionary-era little camp set up with demonstrations. A lot like the Fort Christmas's Cracker Christmas. I bought a few things, like note cards with a painting of the Manti temple on them, and a poster of the Constitution torn and sewed back together with the quote from Brigham Young:

"Will the Constitution be destroyed? No; it will be held inviolate by this people; and as Joseph Smith said, "The time will come when the destiny of the nation will hang upon a single thread. At that critical juncture, this people will step forth and save it from the threatened destruction." It will be so."

I also bought a snow cone and made a donation to get my picture taken with some Star Wars characters. That picture's at the very bottom, if you're interested.

Well, enjoy!

The Festival was held on the grounds of the Tabernacle and the Court House.
