1978 program "Prologue" told by Greg Anderson the first director of Walnut Grove Laura Ingalls Wilder pageant. The goal is the same today. History is remembering our past, understanding where we came from, appreciating how far we’ve come, and looking ahead to where we are going.

The Walnut Grove Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant would like to extend our condolences to the family and friends of Betty Bannick. Betty was a longtime volunteer in our ticket booth at the Walnut Grove Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant. Betty took tickets from 1978 until 2011.
The photo below is from the 2012 Walnut Grove Laura Ingalls Wilder Program with the caption " After 33 years, Betty Bannick sold her last ticket and can now see the show."
