The Corinne Pageant




For all of you who dont know i live in a little small dopey town called corinne, it has a little over 500 people. Just the way i like it. lol But it has a very colorful history. it was the first Gentile city in utah. it had more brothels and saloons than people!! for all those who know there history golden spike(promotory point) is close to us where the north train rail met the south. The little town of corinne went from 50 people to 10,000 back to 50 in 5 years!! its was quite a towns with "soiled doves" and oprah house, and a steam ship that went 500 ft before running aground on a sand bar lol. It had a divorce machine, where for 2.50 u could get a divorce signed by a layer without ur spouse present lol...2000 people did this till it was found to be illegal lol.

anyway corinne is mostly a small mormon town now. but the corinne historical society doesnt want people to forget about the history of this town, so every year we do a little play nothing spectacilar, all is volunteer by the community.. but its so fun!! the last 3 years i have been a " soiled dove" my husband a muleskinner and kids pioneer kids. I have also choregraphed the dances. as soon as i figure out how to upload vidoes ill have to share the"bear river dance" the cowboys do lol...its a riot and lots of fun. What a way the town comes together to celebrate our quirky history lol. i thought id share some of our fun pictures..i have one more with the sheriff and the soiled doves i need to upload...but enjoy lol
