The Nauvoo Country Fair is a favorite activity for young and young at heart. Guests enjoy 20 different 1840′s style games and activities hosted by family cast members dressed in period costumes. In 2007 a station was added with computers where guests can enter information to access genealogical connections to the main characters represented in the pageant such as Joseph, Emma & Hyrum Smith, Brigham Young, Parley P. Pratt & others. More than half of the pageant guests are surprised to see they are related to one or more of the pageant characters.
