Duro's Enduring Pageant by Mike Cox
"The show debuted in 1966 and grew into a summer tradition.
Thanks to news media exposure, local marketing efforts and old-fashioned
word of mouth, the pageant’s reputation built with each passing
season. In recent years, USA Today included it in its “Top 10 Must
See Theaters in America” and the American Bus Association’s “Top
100 Attractions in North America.”
An estimated 4 million people have viewed the pageant over the last
50 years. In recent seasons, the show’s three-month run (six days
a week with Mondays off) has drawn about 65,000 annually. "
