400 People Needed for Aerial Video:   We Need You to Be a Part of History! Saturday, Oct 17th the Family History Center will be shooting our Family History Video “I Am The Key” in the stake center field. We need 400 people for an aerial video (yes we have a GPS Camera Drone) of a living family tree. Adults, youth and children (with an adult) are all invited to participate. The video is based on the original song “I Am the Key” by Craig Crandall. It will be premiered at the Family Discovery Fair on November 14th and then posted online for the world to discover. It is the story of Bethany who discovers the role she plays in her family history and the romantic blessings that come as she discovers some of her lost family members. If interest you will need to arrive before 10am on Saturday OCTOBER 17th in the Stake Center Field with a signed form (Available below).
