Small Town Fourth 2009
Midway's Small Town Fourth 2009 was held June 26 through July 7th and was an exciting success in its second year. Over 2,700 people attended a variety of events, including "The Sound of Music", the Peter Breinholt Concert, Sasparilla Stomp, "The Past and Blue Grass", Heritage Home Tours, the Small Town Quilt Show, and Main Street Musicians.


"The Sound of Music"

The hills of Midwere were alive with "The Sound of Music." Presented in the natural amphitheater of Zermatt Resort and Spa, theatergoers enjoyed an outdoor supper before the show and watched a full moon rise over the stage. Dr. Karl T. Pope, retired BYU Professor of Theater, specially designed the stage to add to the perfect setting for this well-beloved show. Below are a few of our favorite moments.
