Early social amusements included dancing, baseball, and the special event of the Circus coming to town. People joined clubs and attended church regularly. Church and school halls were the first amusement halls, and Highland Park became the first amusement park. Motion Picture theatres came to town in about 1908. Dance halls were built beginning in the 1920s. Some early amusements were picnics, parades, rodeos, horse racing, playing pool, and staging theatricals. Churches and schools led out in youth activities. Annual Old Folks Day, sponsored by the LDS Church, honored all Old Folks with a dinner, visiting, and entertainment.
