Twila Van Leer: Who remembers the date Utah was made a state?

I just know you all jumped out of bed this morning and put on your best bib and tucker to be ready for the big celebration.No? C’mon, it’s Utah’s birthday! She is 122 today. The least you could do is bang on a pan or set off a firecracker. I did my part. I hummed the first few lines of “Utah, We Love Thee,” the song Evan Stephens wrote, anticipating the day when President Grover Cleveland put his signature to the official document allowing Utah entre into the Union.
