I saw this advertisement today in my local Value Pages and I could not stop laughing!
In my mind I picture some tourist coming to Utah, browsing a local magazine and finding this Ad. Not only would the picture seem a bit weird but paired with the text beside it...I mean come on - trek, parades and SHARING TIME!
The best part is, this ad was right beside one for a plastic surgery center, and there were probably 7 or 8 more ads for plastic surgeons in the magazine. Sheesh, no wonder people think we are weird!
It made me wonder what other states and countries advertise to the locals...
Rach or Bri or anyone who has lived outside the beehive state, do you want to weigh in here?

Oh my gosh, that is so funny! The sad part is that I have a daughter who has to (sorry, "gets" to) go on a Pioneer Trek this summer and I saw the ad and went, "Hey! I could just buy it instead of having to make it!" So there is a market for it and that scares me.
The store was White Elegance Vern.
Here is there website:
