Pageant dates announced by Linnie Findlay Dates for the 1982 Mormon Miracle Pageant have been set for July 8, 9, 10 and the next week, July 12 through 17, according to Pageant General Manager, R. Morgan Dyreng. Newspapers in the area and Pageant officials are regularly receiving inquiries about the 1982 Pageant, some concerned because the Manti LDS Temple is temporarily closed for repairs and renovation. T geant officials want everyone to jw that plans are going forward for the 1982 summer Pageant. (See additional article in this paper, also see announcement in the March Ensign, published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, p. 80.) The costume department, under the direction of Lou Conne Nuffer and Marion Lee, is currently making a survey of needed additions to the costume department, and those with sewing skills who would be willing to assist with costumes should contact one of these ladies. Also, Mr. Lloyd Christiansen, who has been making battle weapons for a number of years has asked for your old broom and mop handles. Many battle weapons are broken each year during the Pageant and have to be replaced, some several times during the season. So, if you are planning to buy new equipment for your spring cleaning, you could make a contribution to the Pageant by taking the good handles from your discarded mops or brooms to Mrs. Douglas (Bonnie) Olson, 383 South 300 East in Ephraim, Snappy Service, Ephraim, or to Lloyd or Audrey Christiansen, 82 West 200 North in Manti.
