3:38 PM | เขียนโดย leonook | Edit Post

The office of Rep. Jim Matheson (D-Utah) celebrated Pioneer Day â€" a uniquely Utahn holiday â€" on Friday, tweeting a photo of a gelatin mold salad created by a staffer.

Matheson press secretary Alyson Heyrend explains the connection.

“Utah is renowned for its love of Jell-O desserts,” she told The Hill. “It’s a tradition when the state celebrates Pioneer Day to serve Jell-O at picnics and family gatherings.”

Pioneer Day, also known as “Days of ‘47,” commemorates July 24, 1847, when the Mormon pioneers led by Brigham Young first entered the Salt Lake Valley.

The original tweet read:
