NAUVOO, IL

We got into Nauvoo and set up about 3:30. We camped at Camp Nauvoo which is a really nice campground with full hookups. I found a schedule of events on line and discovered that the last performance of Sunset by the Mississippi was being put on at the outdoor stage.

It was so hot and humid and absolutely miserable. The bugs outnumbered humans by about a million to one. But the performers put on a great show. Most of the performers are the Senior Missionary Couples serving in Nauvoo and along with them are young, very talented kids from BYU. (Notice the heavy costumes.)

After their performance, the BYU International Folk Ensemble performed and these kids are absolutely amazing. What a fantastic show. They requested no pictures be taken but if you ever get a chance to see these kids perform, please do so.
