Love this event! I sadly won't be able to attend because of a work conflict, but I highly encourage anyone who is able to experience it!
Pro Tip: DRESS WARM! 🥶

Did your ancestors live in Nauvoo? Did they participate in the 1846 Exodus? Come walk in their honor on Saturday February 7th! Even if you don't have any ancestors who were there, come walk in honor of religious freedom and faith in God. Come walk to remember the importance of loving our neighbor, no matter our differences! Latter-day Saint youth 14-18 are invited to march at the head of the parade as the Nauvoo Legion and Flag Corps.

A quartet from the Nauvoo Orchestra performed at the Rheinberger Museum last night. Lots of the music had historic roots and it was absolutely enchanting! The highlight of the concert was getting to hear Carol Conrad play on a 150 year old piano! She played my grandma Nancy’s favorite, Clair de Lune ❤️ the concert was hosted by the Nauvoo Historical Society. I’m grateful I got to be there!

After some scary flash flooding the night before (we got 6-8 inches), we had so much fun going to the country fair & the Nauvoo pageant last night! We also met up with an old friend from our mission in Germany and got to shake the hand of WE LOVE NAUVOO
