Ah, Pioneer Day. That annual 24th of July celebration filled with parades, elegant floats, swimming pools, ice cream, grilled meats and colorful explosives. And for others, an ice-cold barley pop to wash down a flakey piece of pie. No matter your preference, every Utahn’s heart should be swelling with pride.

To put a cherry on top of that pie, today also happens to be NBA and Utah Jazz icon, Karl Malone’s birthday.
