2023 Santaquin Orchard Days

“Livin’ the Country Life”

July 29 - August 5, 2023

Welcome to Santaquin

It is with much anticipation that I take time to welcome all who are planning on returning to Santaquin Orchard Days in 2023. The many people who are planning for rodeos, parades, auto shows and fun in the park are in for the time of their life in Santaquin this year. You are a big part of this excitement.

It seems the celebration grows every year, and I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Santaquin is normally a calm and quiet place, but the festivities in the park and the throngs of people who come to enjoy every activity are never disappointed.

The hidden secret is the Little BuckA-Roo Rodeo presented on the opening day of Orchard Days. It is the largest Little Buck-A-Roo in the state of Utah, with contestants and families coming

from all over the state to take part.

Santaquin’s award-winning RMPRA Rodeo of the Year from 2008-2010, 2017 and 2021-2022 will be as exciting as ever this year.

After each rodeo, everyone looks forward to laying on the grass or sitting in a chair and watching one of the best fireworks presentations of the summer. I think one of the most fun expressions of a crowd is the oohs and aahs vocalized after each mortar goes off.

As mayor of Santaquin City, I want each of you to feel the deep sense of belonging as those oohs and aahs are heard by your families and you become a part of the Orchard Days participants and our Santaquin family.

We have so much ahead and are celebrating with new people who have never seen or been a part of real small-

town America, even as we continue to grow.

I welcome you to our celebration, and may it make lasting memories for many years to come. Welcome to Santaquin, Utah!

Santaquin Mayor Dan Olson

SANTAQUIN CITY COUNCIL

SANTAQUIN YOUTH CITY COUNCIL

Our Santaquin Youth City Council was first organized in February of 2019. Since that time, membership has grown, and they have performed nearly 900 hours of service in our community.

Here are just a few examples of how youth city council members have served over the last year: they attended Local Officials Day at the State Capitol, they helped with the city’s annual Easter egg hunts for teens and children, they helped with many Orchard Days events, they helped with library projects and events, they delivered bread to the elderly for Thanksgiving, they decorated a float for the Christmas light parade, and they helped with the Holly-Days celebration.

They have also gone on tours of city facilities to learn more about how our city runs. Thank you to the members

of the YCC, and their mentors, Council Member Betsy Montoya and city staff mentor Hattie Rowbury.

2023 PARADE GRAND MARSHALS

Annette & Shayne Bott

Santaquin residents Annette and Shayne Bott have been named grand marshals of the 2023 Orchard Days Grand Parade. The parade will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5, at 400 E. Main Street and travel west down Main Street.

Shayne has lived in Santaquin his entire life and on the same corner for 68 years, excluding the two years when he served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Montana Wyoming Mission. He attended school in Santaquin and Payson, where he participated in sports and was a member of the Payson High School 1971 state championship football team. He worked for Nebo School District for 38 years as a custodian and as the custodial foreman.

Shayne served for 33 years in the Santaquin Fire Department, 20 of those years as fire chief. He also served for 20 years as an EMT for Santaquin. During that time, he developed a great love and respect for those who served with him and will always cherish the brotherhood they shared.

Shayne enjoys working in his yard, going on side-by-side rides with friends, spending time with family, camping at his family property in Fairview and

serving in the Payson Utah Temple.

Annette grew up on 7 acres in Payson, where she had the chance to learn to work in the orchard and garden and take care of farm animals. She loved working with her father, who was a veterinarian, and enjoyed helping him while he treated animals.

Annette attended school in Payson and participated in student council and drill team. After high school, she attended and graduated from Snow College. She played volleyball, basketball and softball while attending Snow. Volleyball is her favorite sport, and she was able to play community volleyball for 28 years. She also was part of the Santaquin Fire Auxiliary.

Annette loves any precious time spent with family, reading, holding a child, baking or working in her yard. She also loves Twizzlers black licorice and buttered toast. Annette currently works at Rowley’s Red Barn and the Santaquin Chieftain Museum.

Shayne and Annette have six children and 14 grandchildren whom they love and are grateful for. They feel fortunate that all their children and grandchildren live in Utah County.

They are grateful to have been raised in loving homes by wonderful parents

who taught them love of country and patriotism for those who served and sacrificed for the freedoms we all enjoy. Both of their fathers served in the military during World War II.

Church and community service has allowed them to work with many wonderful people and develop lifelong friendships.

Shayne and Annette love living in Santaquin and appreciate the beauty that surrounds our community. They express thanks to Mayor Dan Olson and the Santaquin City Council for asking them to serve as the parade grand marshals. They know there are many individuals who put time and effort into making Santaquin a great place to live and consider this a great honor.

MISS SANTAQUIN 2022

The 2022 Miss Santaquin Royalty members have enjoyed serving the community since last October, and they are looking forward to a fun summer representing our city at various parades throughout the area. They are also excited for the upcoming Orchard Day activities.

All fundraising efforts for the Miss Santaquin Organization take place during Orchard Days. We thank the community for the continuous support of our program. We invite you to purchase glow sticks at the rodeo on the Friday and Saturday of Orchard Days to help in our fundraising efforts.

For more information regarding the Miss Santaquin program, please contact any of the pageant directors — Keela Goudy, Shelby Deuel, McKenzie Lundell or Brylee Pace — at santaquinpageant@gmail.com.

Miss Santaquin Alli Blake

Alli Blake was honored to be crowned Miss Santaquin last October. Since that time, she has been actively serving the community and fulfilling her requirements as queen.

One of her most important responsibilities as Miss Santaquin is to spend a minimum of 50 hours promoting her platform. Alli’s platform is “You are a gift, so be present.” With this platform, it is her goal to educate young people about the negative effects of too much screen time and to encourage them to put down their electronic devices and discover new interests and develop talents they can share with others.

At Christmastime, she was able to work with the mayor and city council members to acquire bikes for underprivileged kids in our community. In February, she teamed up with a young motivational speaker, and together they were able to present a powerful message of hope and share information about how to overcome the negative effects of social media at the junior high and high school.

She and her attendants visited all three of the elementary schools in town to present a message to the children about how to avoid spending too much time on screens this summer.

Alli has also been involved in other service projects, including a princess story time at the library, providing entertainment at the senior citizen luncheon, helping with the adult prom, emceeing the youth performing arts competition and more.

When Alli isn’t busy with Miss Santaquin responsibilities, she enjoys arts and crafts, adventures with friends and quality time with her family. Alli just graduated from Payson High School with high honors. She plans to attend Snow College this fall.

She is the daughter of Brian and Katie Blake and has lived in Santaquin her whole life. She loves this community and is happy to have the chance to serve the people of Santaquin as their queen this year.

First Attendant Mary Rickman

First Attendant Mary Rickman is the daughter of Jason and Jennifer Rick-

man. Mary has lived in Santaquin for five years and has loved being a part of the community. She graduated from Payson High in 2021 and continued her education at Snow College, where she met her fiance.

Mary’s hobbies include spending time with her family and finding new ways to be creative. She plans on beginning esthetics school in the fall and is excited for what the future will bring.

Second Attendant Arzadia Maestes

Second Attendant Arzadia Maestes is the daughter of Emily and Miguel Maestas. She has lived in Santaquin since she was 3 years old and just finished her senior year at Payson High School. Arzadia participated in cheer during all three years of high school and decided to finish with track and field her senior year.

Her hobbies include reading, building with Legos and listening to podcasts as well as hammocking with friends. Arzadia plans on attending Utah Valley University and studying social work in the fall.

LITTLE MISS ORCHARD DAYS 2022

The Mini, Little, Jr., Jr. Teen and Teen Miss Orchard Days Pageant is a fun and great experience for the girls who participate. It is an opportunity to make new friends, gain self-confidence and dress up in a pretty dress!

We invite girls ages 4 through 16 years old to participate. Those in the oldest age group (14 to 16) perform a talent and participate in an interview portion as well as an onstage question. We have some very talented young ladies in Santaquin.

The pageant directors work very hard every year to make sure this is a positive and fun experience for everyone. For our Service Project this year, the girls put together “Blessing Bags” Hygiene Kits. These were donated locally to help those in need. We also did a get-together to assemble some fleece blankets to add to those bags.

The girls participate in the Santaquin Orchard Days Grand Parade and the Rodeo Grand Entry as well as other Orchard Days events.

This year’s pageant was held on June 10, 2023. We would love to invite anyone who would like to participate in the 2024 pageant to reach out. We are happy to answer any questions that you may have.

OPENING CEREMONY & FLAG RAISING Honoring ART ADCOCK

Santaquin’s mayor and city council will host a flag-raising ceremony officially opening the 2023 Orchard Days celebration on Saturday, July 29, at the Santaquin Rodeo Arena, 175 S. 400 West. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.

During the ceremony, the mayor and council will honor Santaquin resident and military veteran Arthur (Art) Lee Adcock. Adcock was born in Flint, Michigan, to Orville and Marian Adcock. He moved to Palm Beach County, Florida, in 1955. He enjoyed his youth and being around the water and boating.

Adcock graduated from high school in 1965 and attended Palm Beach Junior College for one year. The Vietnam War was brewing, and he received a notice to report for a physical prior to induction into the Army. He went to the Air Force recruiter to learn of his options. They allowed him to enter a delayed enlistment program for three months, thus allowing him to complete that semester of school.

Adcock served on active duty with the Air Force from February 1967 until February 1971. He was honorably discharged into the inactive reserves for the remaining two years of his sixyear enlistment. After going through basic training in Texas, Adcock went to Keesler AFB in Biloxi, Mississippi, for a year of electronic training.

Upon graduation, he was assigned to Columbus AFB in Mississippi. His job was to diagnose and repair the Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) defense systems on a B-52 bomber. At that time, B-52s were either on alert with nuclear bombs in the United States or overseas in Guam, Okinawa or Thailand with conventional bombs that were used to bomb Vietnam.

Art was sent temporarily to Guam for six months; then he returned to Mississippi. After 11 months, Adcock was sent back to Guam for the remain-

ing 20 months of his enlistment.

It was while in Guam the second time that Adcock was introduced to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They held church in a Quonset hut. Having no baptismal font, Art was baptized in the Philippine Sea, which was very fitting for a young man from Florida.

Adcock returned home, and, while attending church, he met a lovely young lady by the name of Sherry. They dated during the summer of 1971. Sherry had submitted papers to serve a full-time mission for the church. They decided together that her mission was what was most important. Therefore, she left, and Adcock waited 18 months for her to return. Return she did in February of 1973, and they were married in the Los Angeles Temple in March of 1973.

They lived in the area around Atlanta, Georgia, for five years while working for General Motors Corporation. Adcock desired to complete his education, and, with support and encouragement from Sherry, they sold their house and moved to Utah with their four children to attend Brigham Young University. By the time Adcock graduated in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in justice administration and a minor in sociology, the family had grown to five children.

Adcock was hired in 1979 to work for Sheriff Mack Holley with the Utah County Sheriff’s Office. He retired in 2002 after working for 23 years in law enforcement. During this time, Adcock enlisted in the Utah Army National Guard and served in two different

companies for six years. He drove school buses for Nebo School District and for Head Start for five years. He returned to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office, working in the jail in a department called Classification, for five years, then finally retired.

Adcock served on the Santaquin City Council from January 1984 to January 1988. He served again from January 2006 to July 2008, when he resigned due to being called as a bishop for the 6th Ward. Adcock is now again serving on the city council, with his third term beginning in January of 2022. He decided to run again after spending six years on the Santaquin Planning Commission.

Adcock is the commander of Santaquin American Legion Post 84, which ensures that every veteran buried in Santaquin Cemetery is buried with full military honors. Every veteran deserves that respect and thanks from a grateful nation.

Art enjoys serving in the community and is grateful for the confidence the citizens of Santaquin have shown in him. He is humbled by this recognition and appreciates the love that this represents.

Family-Friendly COMEDY SHOW

Comedian Aaron Drussell will bring his family-friendly comedy act to Santaquin as part of Orchard Days this year.

Drussell will present his comedy show on Tuesday, Aug. 1, at 7 p.m. at Apple Valley Elementary School. Single tickets are $3 and a family ticket for up to six people is $10; tickets may be purchased at santaquin.activityreg.com.

Aaron Drussell was born with a quick wit and a twinkle in his eye ... or is that just the reflection off his shiny head? Either way, he is on a mission to spread joy and fun to the masses.

Originally from New Jersey, Aaron Drussell moved to Utah to attend college in the ’90s and ended up settling here and starting a family.

His ventures into entrepreneurship, real estate and family life has been a source of excitement and plenty of comedic stories and episodes.

Originally from New Jersey, he attended college here in Utah County. His local ties, however, go back even further as both his dad and grandpa grew up in Eureka and both worked in the mines.

Aaron’s not that tough, though, so he spends his time working in real estate and performing standup comedy. Aaron has performed musical improv for years, but his real passion is sharing funny life experiences and antidotes from stage.

Aaron is known for his quick wit and unique approach to comedy, which means finding comedy in even the most mundane of situations.

Featuring Rodeo Clown Troy Lerwill, the “Wild Child”

PRE-SHOW ENTERTAINMENT

Friday night: Maddie Wilson

SATURDAY IS “TOUGH ENOUGH TO WEAR PINK” NIGHT! FIREWORKS

Fireworks will be launched both nights following the rodeo action! While the fireworks can be seen from almost any location within the city, the best seats are inside the rodeo arena!

RODEO CLOWN: TROY LERWILL - THE “Wild CHILD”

Rodeo clowns – most of whom are also called “bullfighters” – are supposed to coax a chuckle or two out of rodeo fans in the stands while simultaneously saving the necks of buckedoff bull riders.

That’s done by the clowns sticking their own necks out to distract the bull so the tossed rider can hustle to safety. Troy “Wild Child” Lerwill has done all that plenty, starting out as a bullfighter back in the early ‘90s, then inventing his famous act that incorporates comedy, rodeo and a motorcycle.

Lerwill grew up in Payson and spent a lot of time at rodeos in his youth. His dad was a team roper and his mom was a rodeo queen. His act blends rodeo and motocross; Lerwill was once ranked No. 1 in Utah as a professional motocross rider, so he has the tools and experience he needs for that element.

His signature painted face, blueand-yellow shirt and giant yellow cowboy hat makes him easy to spot as he banters with ring announcers and struts his stuff in the arena. But what people really want to see Lerwill do

is his famous truck-and-motorcycle jumping act. This involves the trick he invented in 1998: getting his bike up to roughly 60 mph, precisely hitting a jump ramp and launching himself and his bike over a Ram pickup. Sound dangerous? It is. He once

broke both ankles in a hard landing after just such a jump. This death-defying specialty performer has won the coveted PRCA Comedy Entertainer of the Year Award multiple times and worked the National Finals Rodeo as a barrel man.

I began my career in Idaho but relocated my family to Utah in 2014 where my wife and I are raising our eight children. In my spare time , let's face it, with eight children I don't have any spare time If possible, I enjoy being a world traveler and watching sports

I was born and raised in SLC and currently live in Santaquin with my wife and two children I earned my Doctor of Optometry degree from Southern California College of Optometry where I graduated with honors I love traveling, camping, hiking, spending time with family, and a good dad joke
