excerpt from usa today:
HILDALE, Utah (AP) — Former members of a polygamous church are offering outsiders a guided tour with promises to answer questions about the history and traditions of the community.
Richard Holm and his brother Heber Holm are among those who are launching "The Polygamy Experience: A Guided Tour of Colorado City." The first tour is Saturday.
Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah are twin towns controlled by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The four-hour tour will include accounts from those who have lived in the towns. Richard Holm was exiled from the FLDS faith in 2003 by church leader Warren Jeffs. Heber Holm left the community 35 years ago.
FLDS spokesman Willie Jessop says he hopes people won't get suckered into what he calls a scam.
The tour costs $70 for adults and $60 for children
i wish i would have thought of this first--
i wonder if the tour customers know that they could save themselves 70 bucks (60 if they are underage!) by just visiting st. george's costco?

lol totally st george costco or walmart near wash fields ha ha.
Hilarious...and so true...I wonder if they would give you a discount if you ask what it takes to sign up? ;)
BTW- I get so excited every time I see the Whiskey.Tango.Foxtrot. posts!
Good call. I would bet they make zero on that scam. Too expensive.
I'm confused. The men who don't live in the community, the Holms, are offering tours? How are they doing that?
Interesting.
NO LIE: An old work friend of mine and I had this very idea YEARS AGO. I kick myself now.
Hah! So true.
Sad thing is people will probably pay for it.
