Celebrate 50 years of Springville Art City celebrations Danielle Downs

DAILY HERALD

U

tah’s season of festivals kicks off with Springville’s 50th Art City Days and a full week of activities for the community.

According to Patrick Monney, co-chairman of Art City Days, the festival’s organizers went to great lengths to “keep it fresh and fun but also within tradition.”

With that said, here is a short list of both “traditional” and “fresh and fun” things to see and do at the golden anniversary of Art City Days.

Fresh and fun

Springville’s Bartholomew Park will have its grand opening celebration on June 13 at 1 p.m. Look for Mayor Wilford Clyde to cut the ribbon. Following the ribbon cutting ceremony, the park will see its first official activity as youth participate in a duct tape regatta around the pond.

According to Springville Director of Building and Grounds Alex Roylance, Bartholomew Park is unique from the many parks throughout the city. Its location at the mouth of the canyon provides beautiful scenery and it’s a quiet, peaceful place to gather with family and friends, he said.

Though the Craft Boutique is old, the face of 17-year-old KC DeGroff is new. The Mesa, Ariz., native and owner of Let it Be Written will be selling handmade pens in his first visit to Springville.

DeGroff said he got his start making original pens about a year ago when he received a handmade pen as a gift from one of his scout masters.

“It just blew my mind and I wanted to learn how to do it,” he said.

DeGroff receives wood from all over the world, draws original designs into the wood, and puts in custom hardware to create pens ranging from the fancy fountain pen to the more humble ball point pen.

And the secret to his designs?

“I don’t think about it and just do it,” he said.

Customers can purchase handmade pens for $30 to $200 per pen. DeGroff will also be selling handmade kaleidoscopes and perfume vials.

The Craft Boutique is located at Civic Center Park, 50 S. Main St., and is open from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. June 10, 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. June 11, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. June 12, and 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. June 13.

SPENSER HEAPS, Daily Herald

Traditional

One classic event that will be returning this year is the Hot Air Balloon Festival. However, as balloon fest coordinator Sandy Harward reminded, this year’s location has changed. The festival will be held on the south side of Cherry Creek Elementary School, at 484 S. 200 East.

According to Harward, this is one of Art City Days largest and most popular events.

“It always draws a huge crowd,” she said.

Balloon pilots will throw candy and colored, numbered balls for prizes for participants to catch, Harward said. She added there is also an opportunity to ride in a tethered hot air balloon.

Children are also an important part of the Art City Days celebration, and nowhere is this statement more true than at the Children’s Art Festival at the Springville Museum of Art. Museum Educator Brittany Dahlin said this event has been a part of the festivities since the 1980s, and last year attracted more than 5,000 participants.

The event, which is targeted for ages 3 to 12, has lots of different booths such as balloon animals, face painting and storytelling, Dahlin said.

The event is the museum’s largest for children, and is part of an overall effort to introduce children to the arts. Dahlin said this is important because “introducing art

The event is free, though children must be chaperoned by an adult.

Blurring the lines

Though the popular Art City Days concert is back for this year’s celebration, participants can expect to see new, yet well-known faces in the show that’s featuring the Greatest Hits on Earth — Live.

Members from groups such as The Dazz Band, Kool & the Gang,

Kansas, Journey, Elton John Band, Phil Collins Band, Richard Marx Band and the Pat Travers Band will all be performing.

According to Springville City Councilman Craig Conover, it’s going to be a “very professional show” that “appeals to people of all ages.”

“These are the real guys that sang these songs back in the day,” he added.

The concert is June 12 at the Arts Park Main Stage: 700 S. 1300 East. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 the day of the show. The concert starts at 7 p.m.

‘As good as

GOLD’

Danielle Downs DAILY HERALD

T

his year’s theme for Springville’s Art City Days “As Good As Gold,” is a reflection of the community’s quality and the celebration’s landmark 50th year, according to Art City Days CoChairman Patrick Monney.

As the festival’s coordinators were brainstorming a theme, the idea of a 50th wedding anniversary, which is often termed a “golden anniversary” was thrown around, Monney said, which led to the question: what about our community is golden?

For Monney, the answer is simple.

As a self-described “Texas transplant,” he arrived in Springville 40 years ago and never left because of the people.

“This community has a heart of gold. We are a city of gold,” he said.

And the idea stuck.

Monney said he believes now

more than ever there’s a need for community events, such as Art City Days, that promote unity.

Because there are many diverse things happening in the world and so many tragic events, “it’s a good thing to get together for a good reason,” he said.

For Monney, Art City Days provides that suitable venue that pulls the community together. The celebration’s different events provide various opportunities to gather as families and friends, and to celebrate and have fun, he said.

Monney was quick to note that Art City Days’ success is because of the people.

“We couldn’t do it without the help of an amazing city organization, employees, the many volunteers and the tremendous support from the community businesses,” he said.

Art City Days runs June 6 through June 13.

Springville orchestra director named resident artist for 2015 Danielle Downs DAILY HERALD

S

am Tsugawa is the resident artist for Springville’s 50th Art City Days, an award that came as a surprise to him.

“Those types of awards generally go to sculptors or painters — people who really make their life at creating art and music,” said Tsugawa, the orchestra director for both Springville Junior High and High School.

“I know I’m a musician. I do music. I’m a conductor,” he continued, “but I’m just a school teacher.”

Besides the initial reaction of surprise, Tsugawa also said he’s honored to receive the distinction. As a teacher in Springville for 26 years, he said he’s part of the community and knows a lot of people.

“I consider the award to be BRIAN WINTER, Daily Herald Sam Tsugawa, conducts the Springville High School Philharmonic Orchestra in this given to me by my friends and file photo from 1999. Tsugawa was named as Springville’s resident artist for their my neighbors and that’s what makes it a special award to me,” annual Art City Days celebration for 2015.

he said.

Music is something Tsugawa has always enjoyed. Growing up he loved being in band and orchestra, and he played a lot of instruments. Tsugawa made the decision to be a music teacher as a student in high school because of his love for music, as well as having an aptitude for teaching.

“The two skills just kind of came together and it’s a profession I identify with,” Tsugawa said.

Tsugawa, a native of Hawaii, came to Brigham Young University and earned a Bachelor of Music degree in music education in 1987. In 1989 a job opened up in Springville and he’s been teaching there ever since.

Tsugawa’s resume also boasts two advanced degrees in music education: a master’s from BYU and a doctorate from Arizona State University.

Look for Tsugawa in Springville’s grand parade that will be held June 13 at 10 a.m.

Bartholomew Park celebrates grand opening Danielle Downs DAILY HERALD

W

ayne Bartholomew Family Park’s grand opening will be held June 13 as a part of Springville’s 50th Art City Days celebration.

“While we’re celebrating everything else we might as well celebrate a brand new park,” said Alex Roylance, Springville’s director of buildings and grounds.

The grand opening will include a ribbon cutting ceremony at 1 p.m. with Springville Mayor Wilford Clyde, and will be followed by a Duct Tape Regatta at 1:30 p.m.

According to Art City Days CoChairman Patrick Monney, the idea for a duct tape regatta sprang from wanting to incorporate an event that would be a “kickback” to 50 years ago, as this year marks the celebration’s 50th anniversary.

Participating youth will make “boats” from cardboard and duct tape and see if they can

Roylance said although it wasn’t necessarily planned to complete the park during Art City Days, it is fortunate the two events will coincide and allow the city to plan the grand opening as a part of the city’s larger celebration.

improve fish habitat downstream where Hobble Creek enters Utah Lake.

The three-plus acre pond is the main feature of the park located at about 2900 E. Canyon Road. There are also five pavilions for picnics, restrooms and changing rooms, fishing docks and a concession stand.

“This will be one nice facility,” said Rod Oldroyd with the City of

Springville. He added they recently stocked the pond with trout, put in the 140-stall parking lot, and completed a paved trail around the pond.

The land for the park came from a purchase from the Bartholomew family. It was selected as an ideal location for a retaining pond to help the endangered June sucker, which spawns downstream.

Hobble Creek has seen other restorations to improve fish habitat, including an increased width of the river corridor near Utah Lake, restored banks and plant vegetation, and added meanders and structures to benefit the June sucker.

Once the environmental requirements were met, the city of Springville added amenities to make the area enjoyable for residents.

The June 13 opening will unveil the first phase of the park. City officials said in March 2014 that development will continue possibly for the next 10 years to improve the park for visitors.

he first few Saratoga Springs city celebrations were more like neighborhood parties and grew as the town grew evolving into what Saratoga Splash is today.

The first 5K was a very serious and competitive run.

“We’ve had a 5K every year, but now we have begun to emphasize it’s more of a family event,” said Darcey Williams, Saratoga Springs civic events assistant coordinator.

“Some may not be able to run a 5K but they can walk a mile with friends or family,” she said. “So it’s not new, but it’s different.”

Williams moved to Saratoga Springs seven years ago and has been a part of the city celebration since that time. The emphasis and focus has shifted since the 1990s to have Saratoga Splash become a more inclusive holiday for residents.

“We want activities that everyone can feel they can be a part of,” Williams said.

Examples of the all-inclusivity are the Chalk Walk and Boogie, the grand parade, the movie night, the picnic in the park, the water party Splash Bash, the Party Crashers concert and the family carnival.

“It’s grown so much,” Williams said. “It’s a much, much larger event. We trying to add new events each year so as the city grows we will too.”

Each year, programs and events are improved if possible. The pie eating contest eventually became the watermelon eating contest since clean up and stocking watermelons was much easier to do than storing cream pies.

A significant feature for the Splash is the fireworks show after the concert on Friday, June 12. “This will be the first year we’ve had fireworks,” said AnnElise Harrison, civic events coordinator.

Another new item is the Food Truck Rally from 5-9 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, June 11-12, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 13, at Neptune Park. Each food truck attending has been by invitation only to assure the best variety and quality for the rally.

Those chosen days for the rally are also the most popular days of the Saratoga Splash, Harrison said.

On Thursday, June 11, the volunteers have picnic in the park and outdoor movie night; Friday, June 12, is the baby contest, Splash Bash, boutique, concert and fireworks show; and finally on Saturday, June, 13, there is a car show, carnival and of course, the grand parade.

Competing with those popular events are the Chalk, Walk and Boogie and Saratoga Has Talent on Monday evening, June 8. Tuesday, June 9, marks the day for reading

fun, a book sale and Science Night: Fun with Fire (presented by the Saratoga Springs Fire and Rescue crew).

Increasing in popularity is the Wednesday Search for Saratoga event, a treasure hunt. Also the 5K is set to begin the hour before Search for Saratoga begins.

“We do a treasure hunt that has kind of grown to be a pretty popular event,” Harrison said.

Another event that has been tweaked to serve the community better is the carnival with more bounce house rides geared toward the teen and tweens.

“We are young, it’s an evolving process, it’s new; and we try and make it something new and fresh,” Harrison said.

“We are establishing the traditions that generations from now will enjoy, or will come home to Saratoga to celebrate.”

Volunteers key to Saratoga Splash Cathy Allred DAILY HERALD

I

f AnnElise Harrison were to take one word to describe the Saratoga Springs city celebration, she said that word would be “volunteers.”

“It would be our volunteers.

Darcey Williams, the assistant coordinator, and I work with four different committees of volunteers,” said Harrison, the city’s civic events coordinator.

More than 30 people work behind the scenes to bring in the best for Saratoga Splash. They represent several different committees.

“Our art council does Monday, the library takes care of Tuesday, the City Celebration Committee does the whole week,” Harrison said. “The [Miss Saratoga] pageant committee is there throughout the week helping us.”

The city royalty assists with Monday registration, then participates and supports the Talent

show, and they solely take charge of the baby contest.

Within just the Saratoga Splash committee there are 5-6 active members helping oversee the larger events during the week. There are also individuals who help.

“We have a graphic designer who has volunteered to create the poster and tri-fold (brochure) every year for the last seven years,” Harrison said. “One volunteer does the watermelon contest every year.”

CERT volunteers direct traffic, serve as parade ushers and help support other police work during the Saratoga Springs city celebration. The Youth Council, the Saratoga Springs Business Alliance, and other civic organizations pitch in to create the community’s signature events.

“We have another couple that help with the parade as well as the CERT,” said Darcey Williams, civic events assistant coordinator.

“The lady that helps with that also doubles for the Fun Run,” Williams said.

From the bounce houses at the carnival to the Science Night Out, there is someone in the community voluntarily giving their time and talents to help make the event happen.

Pony Express Days kicks off summer Cathy Allred DAILY HERALD

T

he town of Eagle Mountain hosted its first Pony Express Days celebration in June 1998, two years after the community of approximately 250 people was incorporated.

Pony Express Days events were initially intended to reflect the western pioneer ingenuity and to remember the trail that Pony Express riders would follow through Cedar Valley carrying mail from both the east and west coasts.

The area is home to a number of natural landmarks, including a site along the original Pony Express trail from the early 1860s and 1,800-year-old rock art petroglyphs carved by ancient

Fremont Indians.

Eventually, the growing city extended Pony Express Days to Pony Express Week until the city celebration (population 24,000) extended over two weeks featuring outdoor sports like archery and softball, bonfires, a rodeo, bike races, and skateboard competitions.

A headliner concert, too, draws thousands to the Silverlake Amphitheater.

Pony Express Days continues its tradition of a parade, 5K run, carnival, boutiques and sports tournaments but has been downsized significantly from its

In spite of the change, there are several traditions that are unique to the community of Eagle Mountain that give cause to celebrate the community’s individuality.

One event that is very popular is the Pony Express Demolition Derby, sponsored and being brought back by a civic committee, the Pony Express Special Events.

Tickets and more information on this event are available at www. ponyexpressspecialevents.com.

The derby, set for Saturday, June 6, will begin at 6 p.m. at the Eagle Mountain rodeo grounds. Other popular events include the Pony Express Days Family Fun Night on Wednesday, June 3, and the carnival, boutique and other events at

Nolan Park beginning Thursday, June 4. Pancakes, whether for breakfast or dinner, have long been a part of the city celebration.

The geocache treasure hunt and the scavenger hunt for kids gives more of a pioneering feel during these events, although many a pioneer would probably have been thrilled to have a modern-day digital Global Positioning System.

Don’t let others know, but the Pony Express Days Parade is known as the most lucrative candy-throwing parade in the county, the pride of a community that has more children than adults who call Eagle Mountain home.

Oftentimes the children are more entertaining than the adults, darting out to grab flying candy and throwing it in their treasure bag to eat after the parade is done.

Pony Express Days honors volunteer spirit Cathy Allred DAILY HERALD

T

he community in Eagle Mountain is big on service and honoring those who also serve.

But nailing down who those people who are giving the service is difficult.

“I wanna say we have — it’s so hard to judge that, it’s different every year — going off last year, we have anywhere from 30 to 100 volunteers,” said Dawn Hancock, city events coordinator.

During the first full week in June, Pony Express Days celebrates family, fun and service. Even the city mayor has his service to do during the city celebration.

“I look forward to seeing many of you at the Pony Express Days events

and would like to personally invite you to the Mayor’s Pancake Dinner on June 3 at Nolan Park, where myself and city council members will be serving the food,” said Mayor Chris Pengra in his blog. “I’d love to chat with you and answer any questions you may have. “ The Miss Eagle Mountain royalty is very much a part of the city celebration. These ladies plan to help with some of the events too, so keep an eye out for Miss Eagle Mountain, Ella Barlow; 1st attendant, Kaylie Blacka; 2nd attendant, Katie Spencer; and 3rd attendant, McKell Finch.

Other honorees include the Eagle Mountain City Woman of the Year sponsored by the Miss Eagle Mountain Pageant Committee.

This year, Kara Allen received the Woman of the Year 2015 Award for

Returned from helping with an orphanage in Mexico, Allen most recently established a service campaign called “60 Days of Service.” With other youth leaders, she coordinated random acts of service and encouraged the area’s young women to create their own acts of service and post those acts on social media to inspire others to do the same. She created a video to document their efforts.

As with its neighbor, Saratoga

Springs, Eagle Mountain as a community has traits that set it apart from other cities. From flipping pancakes to directing parking, volunteers give service to help make Pony Express Days the celebration it has become.

“My personal favorite about Pony Express Days is that it is 100 percent about the community and what the community wants,” Hancock said.

Each event is backed by volunteers.

There are parade station checks, scavenger hunt organizers, vendor check in, scorekeepers, pooper scoopers during the parade, and more.

A celebration of summer, city unity Kurt Hanson DAILY HERALD

D

espite what the weather may look like, summer is here, which for the city of Orem, can mean only one thing: Summerfest.

Summerfest is an annual festival that typically takes place during the second weekend of June as the kids are out of school and ready to play.

Reed Price with Orem City said the festival has been going on for nearly 30 years and is one of the few festivals that celebrates a community as a whole.

“It’s one of the first community celebrations,” he said. “I think Springville has their community festival on the same day.”

The timing is intentional, Price said, as it provides children a chance to celebrate summer with their families. Many activities are geared toward children including face painting, balloon animals and carnival games.

The festival starts Friday, June 12, at noon with entertainment provided by various bands and performers on the center stage at City Center Park.

Other booths, shops and games are open until the festival closes each night. Admission, entertainment and enjoyment is free.

“The only thing that you pay for is the carnival rides and if you purchase something in the boutique,” Price said.

But as festival-goers meander from carnival games to the rides, Price said they should take the chance to indulge in the festivals featured attractions, one of which is the baby contest.

The baby contest is Saturday, June 13, and is essentially a celebration of cuteness, when mothers face mothers in a battle of adorable infants.

“All the moms that think they need verification that their child is in fact the cutest will give them the stamp of approval, or at least to say that someone in Orem thought so,” Price joked.

A car show will also dazzle the eyes Saturday afternoon as Orem residents can gawk at muscle cars

of the past and the sleek styles of today.

The apex of entertainment comes Friday night when Ryan Shupe will perform a free live concert for the festival. Shupe is an Orem native and front man of Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband. The band gained musical acclaim years ago with the

single, “Dream Big.” This single was actually the inspiration for Summerfest’s theme of the year: Dream Big. “In Orem, we like to dream big,” Price said.

Shupe is also the Grand Marshal of the parade, which will start its march Saturday night. The parade will feature several floats, marching bands, cheer teams and other Orem city officials and dignitaries, preceding the grand finale, the firework show. Shupe will lead the parade

with several student marshals. All of the student marshals are selected from schools in the Orem area and have overcome trials in their way to excel in school.

Price said Summerfest isn’t just a celebration of summer in Orem, it’s also an opportunity for the community to embrace a unifying spirit.

“It just provides opportunities for Orem residents to get out and mingle one with another,” he said.

“We’re just trying to remind all of the Orem citizens what a great community they live in.”

Strawberry Days offers activities for one and all Karissa Neely DAILY HERALD

T

he Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days has really expanded since its start almost 100 years ago. Then, residents could enjoy the rodeo, the parade and the carnival — and of course a lot of strawberries and cream. Now, it’s almost like a weeklong holiday. And with this year’s theme, “Strawberry Days Forever,” there is something for everyone.

For all

The week starts off June 13 with a car show at the Pleasant Grove Rec Center, 547 S. Locust Avenue, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Part of the summer’s Concerts in the Park series bookends the week’s events. Residents can enjoy a Sunday evening concert at the Rec Center at 7:30 p.m. both June 14 and 21. A special Concert in the Park by indie band, “Static Waves,” will be at Veteran’s Memorial Park, 300 S. Locust Avenue, at 7 p.m. on June 16. That evening residents will also enjoy strawberries and cream served by city employees and volunteers.

And no Strawberry Days would be complete without the Mammoth Parade June 20 at 10 a.m. Many families mark off their spot along the route with blankets and chairs, but there is always room for more along 200 South, on Main Street and along the route’s end along Center Street.

For adults

Residents interested in horticulture can go on a Garden Tour June 15 from 5-9 p.m. and view amazing local yards in the city, including that of the Parade Grand Marshals, Lynn and Linda Walker. Maps are available at Pleasant Grove City Offices and the Rec Center.

Those wanting to show off their babies, can enter in the Baby Contest at the Rec Center June 17 at

GRANT HINDSLEY, Daily Herald

Shoppers looking for something unique and handmade can visit the Boutique at the Old Community Center, at 41 E. 200 South, June 17 from 6-9 p.m., and June 18-20 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Lovers of the Jane Austen era looking for an old-fashioned experience have a new event to attend this year. They can visit the Tea Party at the Bungalow, 235 S. 100 West, on June 18, at noon. Regencyera costumes are welcomed for this event, and participants will meet Julianne Donaldson, author of “Edenbrooke,” and “Blackmoore,” and enjoy a light lunch. Tickets are $25, and may be purchased at the Pleasant Grove Library. All proceeds from the event support the Pleasant Grove Library.

For those that want to learn about a different place in history,

they can take a Daughters of Utah Pioneers Tour June 18 from 1-5 p.m. at the Old Pioneer Museum, 55 S. 100 East.

Those who want to forget the whole manners thing can participate in the Pie Eating Contest at Rose Garden Park, East of Fire Station, June 19 at 5 p.m.

For kids

There are plenty of fun activities every day of the week for kids.

Those with an artistic bent can enter the Children’s Art and Photography Show. All entries for the show are due June 13 at the Rec Center from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. All entries will be on display June 16-20 in the Rec Center, and age group winners will be chosen.

On June 15, all kids ages three to nine, can enjoy an amazing pirate adventure, featuring Utah’s Captain Jack and his Real Pirate Ships at the Rec Center in two sessions, one at 10 a.m. and one at 12:30 p.m. The event costs $20 per child, and kids will be able to play on the pirate

ships and have a pirate adventure complete with Fog Cannons, Buried Treasure, Walking the Plank and many more fun activities.

For the Children’s Parade June 17, all children under 12 years old can make their own personal float out of a bike, wagon or power wheels and be in the parade. Cash prizes of $75, $50 and $25 will be awarded for the best themed-out parade entry. The police and fire department, along with Pleasant Grove Royalty, will be leading the parade. Children should meet on the lawn east of the Pleasant Grove Pool at 4:30 p.m. and the parade will start at 5 p.m.

The City of Fun Carnival starts June 17 as well, in the Downtown Park, at 200 S. Main Street. That evening it will run from 4-11 p.m.

On Thursday through Saturday, it runs from noon to 11 p.m. each day.

The Princess Party, hosted by the Miss Pleasant Grove Royalty, will be June 18 for all young ladies ages 3-11. Like the Pirate Party, the Princess Party will be at the Rec Center, and will have two sessions, one at 10 a.m. and one at 12:30 p.m. The cost is $20 per lady.

Friday, June 19, is Huck Finn Day, a day of fun for all. The activity runs from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Rec Center, and includes a pie eating contest, a horse show, a pet show, fishing, games, pony rides, train rides, balloon art and more.

“The ‘Horsin’ Around Pony Show’ is new this year,” said Melissa Finch, Strawberry Days committee chair.

“There will be two shows — one at 11 and one at 11:30 a.m. The trainer will have two miniature ponies and two horses perform tricks. It should be a great show for the kids.”

As a close to the week and a celebration of the city, Justin Reeves and the Pleasant Grove High School Student Council will light the “G” on the mountain at sundown June 20.

Long-running rodeo still going strong Strawberry Days Rodeo

Karissa Neely DAILY HERALD

T

he Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days Rodeo is one of Utah’s longest running rodeos, and one of the only still run without big corporate sponsors.

“We’ve had big corporate sponsors come in and offer to run it for us, but we are dedicated to keeping it familyoriented. With those sponsors, we’d lose a lot of that,” said Deny Farnworth, assistant chair of the rodeo.

The rodeo is completely separate from Pleasant Grove City and fully volunteerrun and self-funding.

“It takes a quarter million (dollars) to run this for four days, and that’s with unpaid volunteers putting in the prep time, running the concession stand and ticket booths,” Farnworth said. “No one makes money running it.”

Still, because of its reliance on volunteers, the rodeo commitee has been able to fund small projects for the rodeo grounds from the money earned each year. In Farnworth’s time on the committee, he’s overseen the installation of new bleachers, a cement walkway laid around the rodeo section by section, and now the new cooler room.

“That room will save us so much time,” Farnworth said. This will be the first year that volunteers topping strawberries for the concession stands will be onsite.

Prior to this, volunteers met at the Lion’s Club Building on 600 East. Farnworth and his group would truck the thousands of pounds of strawberries to the building, unload them, wait for them to be topped, and then load them back in the truck and ferry them back to the rodeo.

This year, the strawberries will simply be delivered to the rodeo site, topped there and stored directly in the cooler.

The cement walkway project started a few years ago after Farnworth saw a mother pushing her disabled son in a wheelchair through the mud and rutted dirt to find a seat. He put in the first section of cement on the north end, and when the same mother and son came back they were so excited and grateful, it reminded him why he volunteers for this every year.

“I haven’t actually sat with my family and watched the rodeo in 12 years. My kids are here, my wife is here, but we’re all working. We don’t get to watch it,”

Farnworth said.

The rodeo is famous in the western region of the U.S. and brings in big names on the rodeo circuit each year.

The bleachers currently hold 6,500 spectators each night. On Kids Night, held Wednesday, June 17, the place “will be packed,” Farnworth said. That’s the night when each paying adult can bring four children under 12 for free.

“There is a new generation of Pleasant Grove residents, our culture here is changing. Kids Night is about the families, it’s getting the kids and families back in,” Farnworth said.

Getting the newer Pleasant Grove residents involved, when they don’t have a history here, has been difficult for Farnworth and the rest of the Strawberry

Days committee.

“When this was started in the 1920s, Pleasant Grove was just agriculture. It was strawberries, that’s it. That’s what brought this here. Our forefathers had the insight to see what it going to be for the community, to draw them together,” Farnworth said.

But the rodeo needs about 200 volunteers each of its four days for about six hours each. That’s a lot of man power and time.

“We need volunteers we can rely on, ones that will come when they say they will come,” Farnworth said. “Without reliable volunteers, we won’t be able to keep it in-house, we’ll have to move to letting the big corporations come in. And then we’ll lose some of our family feel.”

Strawberry Days Grand Marshals have long history of service in the city Karissa Neely and Mary Burgin DAILY HERALD

T

raditionally the parade grand marshals chosen for the 2015 Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days always have an historic tie to the city, or have put in countless volunteer hours for the city. This year’s grand marshals have both.

Lynn and Linda Walker both are Pleasant Grove natives, and they each have deep roots in the city.

Lynn, 70, is a descendant of Pleasant Grove’s first mayor, Henson Walker. He is Lynn’s three-times great grandfather. Linda, 71, also comes from local pioneer heritage.

They both graduated from Pleasant Grove High, as did their five children and now many of their grandchildren. Soon after graduation, Lynn took a job with a construction company that was then known as Gibbons and Reed.

He said he started out at the bottom, but was soon able to work his way up in the company.

“I ran many projects for the company in the 37 years I worked for them,” said Lynn. He said these projects included the building of seven dams, a solar pond complex, roads over the continental divide, bridges and many other large building projects.

He said he taught himself how to survey and do what is called “sight work.” At one time he had 2,500 people that worked under him, including 35 engineers. Lynn said he very much enjoyed his career as well as the people he worked with.

Linda and her siblings had been raised in the home on 100 North, that was originally built in 1873.

The home had a rock foundation, with the original construction out of pot rock and adobe bricks.

Lynn and Linda purchased the home from her parents, and while raising their children in the home, started the long process of updating and renovating the home and yard. Their yard and extensive gardens has received several awards over the years.

Lynn eventually retired from

Linda and Lynn Walker have been named as the 2015 Strawberry Days Grand Marshals. his job, but after only 90 days of retirement he took the job as the Pleasant Grove Public Works Director in 2002. He retired from that position just this April. He continues to volunteer on many boards for the city and community.

Linda has been active in community over the years. She has served on the Historical Commission, as well as other volunteer committees. She also started a small business in her home where she makes hemstitching along the edge of varied projects such as baby things. She said the business has grown to a large home business over the years.

“They were chosen by the Strawberry Days committee because of their long-time service to the community,” said Mary Burgin, publicity chair. “Lynn was the head of the Strawberry Days committee for many years, and Linda was his right hand.”

Lynn will chuckle a bit about his time as the president of the committee. The only time the Strawberry Days Parade was ever canceled in its long-running history was during his tenure.

“That one year,” he said, looking at his wife. “We had to cancel because of an absolute downpour.”

In a way, they both have come full circle. Linda remembers the excitement of Strawberry Days in her growing up years.

“When we were kids, it was just

the parade, carnival and the rodeo.

But we were so excited. And it was such a big deal when we were kids.

You got a new outfit, you got to sleep outside with your friends.

You couldn’t even sleep the night before,” Linda said.

Aside from eight years away when the Walkers lived out of state for Lynn’s work, during their 53 years of marriage, they have lived in Pleasant Grove. They raised their five children here, and were always a part of the celebration as a family. They now include many of their 23 grandchildren and almost 23 great grandchildren in the celebration as well.

“It’s the thing that brings everybody back to the city. It’s one of those things that brings families together,” Linda said.

“That hometown feeling, the camaraderie. Strawberry Days really is the people,” Lynn said.

They both chuckle about how much the parade draws families year after year.

“You get to see people you haven’t seen since the last parade.

Everyone lays out their blankets, and has their spot,” Linda said.

“It’s kind of like church,” Lynn said with a laugh.

Both Lynn and Linda tout how much the celebration has grown and gotten better, with so many kids’ activities, sports activities, boutiques and contests. But the need for volunteers for all of these activities is a struggle for the committee every year.

“One of my worries is the people who have always served here have their heart in it. But with the newer people to town, not as many get involved,” Linda said.

Still, they are hopeful about the future of the celebration, and will continue to be a part of it as long as they can.

“Attending Strawberry Days every year is a tradition in our family,” said Linda. “But I still can’t figure out why they picked us as the grand marshals. When they called, I asked them what they were calling us for? They only call old people for that.”

TAKE A LOOK, IT’S IN A ROUND-UP Court Mann

Dusk falls over the Lehi Round-Up Rodeo in this file photo from 1998.

DAILY HERALD

L

isa Lewis knows the Lehi Round-Up just about as well as anyone.

It’s a good thing, too — she’s serving as the chair for the annual Lehi city celebration. Born and raised in Lehi, Lewis has attended the Round-Up her entire life, and has served on the planning committee for 11 years now. Lewis spoke with the Daily Herald about this year’s Round-Up festivities, and what it’s like to be part of such an established institution.

The nine-day celebration, from June 20-28, features nearly 40 events. Horseshoe tournaments, baby contests and miniature parade float competitions are just some of the events coming to this year’s Round-Up. The event’s diversity seems to be living up to its name.

“We never stop thinking about

SPENSER HEAPS, Daily Herald

it, never stop planning for it,” Lewis explained. “The committee this year has been on it for quite a few years, so it pretty much just runs itself.”

The Round-Up’s theme this year is “Take a LOOK. It’s in a BOOK.” “I currently work at the Lehi Literacy Center, so obviously I’m big into reading,” Lewis said. “I liked that theme, and I contacted ‘Reading Rainbow,’ and they gave us permission to use that theme, and are very excited to see what comes about from it.”

Though the event starts on Saturday, June 20, the main kickoff event comes the following Monday evening at Wines Park. Monday

evening’s Family Picnic in the Park is BYOD (bring your own dinner) and will include live entertainment.

The Lehi Round-Up also has a new event this year, the Kids Mile fun run, which will be done in conjunction with the normal 5K run on Saturday, June 27. Longstanding events like the Miniature

Float Parade and Grand Parade also highlight this year’s Round-Up. All in all, it looks to be a jampacked celebration for Utah Valley residents. Lewis described it thusly: “It’s like we look forward to the Round-Up in June, and we look forward to Christmas in December.”

Longtime Lehi couple honored as this year’s Grand Marshals Court Mann DAILY HERALD

T

hanks to Russell and Rita Felt, the Lehi Round-Up is now known in Italy. How’s that for ambassadorship?

The Lehi couple, who have been in Lehi for 40 years, are the Grand Marshals for this year’s Lehi RoundUp parades. But this is not their first rodeo, literally or figuratively.

Years ago, Rita’s extended family from Padua, Italy came to visit during the annual city celebration. The rodeo was having a contest to determine the foreign-most visitor geographically. Russell whisked one of their Italian visitors up to the rodeo clown/judge. The winning prize? A pricy Stetson cowboy hat.

Unsurprisingly, there weren’t any rodeo patrons from farther away than Italy.

“He wanted me to have the hat,” Russell recalled. “And I said, ‘Nope, I want you to take that back to Padua and wear it. It’ll be like a spaghetti western.’”

To his knowledge, the hat still resides with their Italian relatives.

Beyond spreading the good word of the Round-Up, the Felts have an extensive Lehi resume worthy of the Grand Marshal title. Rita, who grew up in New York, taught most of the K-12 grades in Lehi through the years, and was integral in the community’s various musical endeavors.

She even sang in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for 12 years.

Russell grew up in Lehi, and has served in a variety of educational positions at Lehi High School, including English teacher, counselor, vice principal and principal. He also spent 18 years in the National Guard and was active duty in the military for four years. Both

of them also served in a variety of callings for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

All of Russell’s background info comes from Rita, though. Russell’s accounting is a bit simpler.

“Oh, I just sat around, mostly,” he said.

As Rita lists Russell’s accomplishments, she delivers her own quips.

“But this sounds like an obituary,” she remarked. (Russell countered: “I’m getting old enough — it could be an obituary.”)

Russell (75) and Rita (70) aren’t slowing down too much, though.

They continue to be involved in the Lehi community, and are thrilled to be this year’s Grand Marshals.

“It is just an honor for us to represent Lehi,” Rita said. “It’s been home to Russell forever, but it truly is home to me now, and there isn’t anywhere else I would want to live.”
