Ogden Pioneer Days: Celebrating Since 1934 The organizers of the annual Ogden Pioneer Days rodeo and community celebration are putting the finishing touches on plans to produce the summer’s biggest and best statehood celebration, which is held each July in Ogden since 1934! Only Ogden Pioneer Days can deliver the type of blood-pumping, hand-slapping, adrenaline-soaked good times that can appeal to both the iPod and Johnny Cash generations. Even with fireworks, a rock-and-roll soundtrack, and a JumboTron, Ogden Pioneer Days takes us back to where we came from—to the roots of our free country, to the hearty stock of men and women who trekked westward into the rocky, golden horizon of the Wild West. Events have been planned throughout July. An art show; the Lindquist Family Pops Concert and Fireworks; the Miss Rodeo Utah pageant, hosted exclusively by Ogden Pioneer Days; a celebration of the National Day of the American Cowboy; a Horse and Hitch Parade, the Grande Parade, and the Special Kids Rodeo are all part of this year’s celebration. To be sure, the capstone events of the celebration are the five nights of a PRCA rodeo at Ogden Pioneer Stadium—Wednesday, July 20 through Monday, July 25. Visit ogdenpioneerdays.com/events-activities/schedule-of-events/ for dates, times, and places. Tickets for the rodeo are available at OgdenPioneerDays.com/ovn.

Just when things seem worst, Sang Ly learns a secret about the ill-tempered woman they call “the rent collector” who comes each month demanding money—a secret that dates a tide that will change the life of everyone it sweeps past. The Rent Collector powerfully illustrates how literacy can change lives and how anyone can “rise from the ashes” in the most unlikely of places.

For Pong, who was born in Namwon Prison, the magical lights represent freedom, and he dreams of the day he will be able to walk among them.
