The original silent color film footage from 1949 was taken by Seth Alder and shows a parade through town, followed by a pageant on the town square. The pageant appears to depict scenes of pioneer settlers and conflict with Indians. It also has some black and white footage of Providence participants in a parade in Logan. The 1949 footage lasts about 22 minutes. The 2009 video is a montage showing scenes and life in Providence. It includes scenes of the town, businesses, and people involved in various activities.
