A big part of the city’s history includes the Arizona Pageant. The Pageant was established as an association by a number of prominent Arizona residents to promote education. The president of the group was originally a gentleman named James McClintock. In 1925 this association made a pledge to raise $10,000. The $10,000 was to be used for the Casa Grande extravaganza. The National Park Service pageant director of this extravaganza was a man named Garnet Holmes who was chosen to supervise the pageant.
The original site chosen for the pageant was a multi-story wooden building. There were only a few limited seating spots available on a mound that was to the west of the stage. The majority of people that viewed the pageant were required to sit on the ground. A three-day production from November 5 – 7, 1926 was chosen and there was a cast of over 300 actors and actresses. A cloud of dust proceeded the arrival of more than 13,000 people traveling to the site in their cars.
The pageant consisted of 4 dramas which unfortunately did not have a great connection the history or prehistory of the monument. However, the pageant in its first year proved to be very successful and the Pageantry Association decided to continue with the performance each year. Due to continued dropping in yearly attendance after that pageant was dissolved in 1930. This pageant is just a sampling of the interesting history that you will discover when traveling to Coolidge, Arizona.
