Neils Fugal Sons Company “Connecting us to all life has to offer” If you are a resident of Utah County or live anywhere along the Wasatch Front, it’s likely you have seen their fleet of trucks and equipment proudly representing the distinct color known as “Fugal Green” and displaying a unique logo they like to refer to as the “Fugal Cube.”

Initially, Fugal’s was started in 1924 as a major player in Pipeline Construction. Over the past several years opportunities have presented themselves in different areas. With proper education and their existing equipment it seemed like a natural fit for Fugal’s to expand their services to include Natural Gas Distribution, Telecommunications, and Splicing both copper and fiber cables.

Today, the company is under the direction of Gary McQueen as President and remains solid with a family oriented atmosphere. As our communities continue to grow Niels Fugal Sons Company will be there to provide services and jobs to those who live and work here.

MAYOR’S MESSAGE Strawberry Days 2017

Welcome to Pleasant Grove’s 97th annual Strawberry Days Festival. It is the longest continuously running celebration in the State of Utah. This year we honor our service men and women with our theme, “Land of the Free …

Because of the Brave.”

They are all around us. They are our parents, spouses, siblings, children, relatives, friends and neighbors. Some live across the world and some live in our homes. They left as teens and came back as adults, forever changed by conflict and battle. Many did not return at all, giving their lives while protecting our freedoms.

Our soldiers have safeguarded the borders of the United States from all external powers who plot to overthrow our country and enslave us. Let us gather together in appreciation of their ongoing sacrifice. Let us pause to recognize the gifts they defend. Let us appreciate what they continue to do so we are free to assemble.

Enjoy celebrating Strawberry Days in the “Land of the Free … Because of the Brave.”

Mayor Michael Daniels

2017 Grand marshals Jessica & Marc Sanderson • Strawberry Days 2017

By Mary Burgin Marc and Jessica Sanderson have been selected as the grand marshals for the 2017 Strawberry Days celebration. Both were raised in Pleasant Grove and they have raised their four sons and a niece here.

Marc served as the city’s fire chief for several years. They said that they both fondly remember Strawberry Days. Jessica said that she always got a new outfit each year. They said they would go down to the parade route a few days early and place their lawn chairs there to reserve a spot.

The carnival coming to the downtown park was always a highlight. Jessica said, “I remember just thinking how great it was to have something fun happening every day and to have what seemed like the whole town out celebrating all of the festivities!”

They said it has been a happy memory for themselves as well as their children and now their grandchildren.

2017 Strawberry days committee

12 • strawberrydays.org

a brief history

By Mary Burgin In 1921, a group of community leaders in Pleasant Grove began to plan a community celebration. Due to the fine production of strawberries in the community, it was decided that the celebration would be called Strawberry Days. The first year of the celebration was a huge success, swelling the population of the city. It was decided to continue the event due to the great fun it provided as well as the economic boost to the city and the local merchants.

Over the years, a Miss Pleasant Grove contest was included as well as a parade, carnival, rodeo and many other great activities. Many families have looked forward to having their annual family reunion during the event. Residents were proud to show off their town to visitors. Over the years, it has become the longest continuous celebration in the state.

Local Cancer Care. National Reputation.

When I was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer just before my 50th birthday, I was determined to stay positive and not ask why me? I feel blessed to have been treated by such an exceptional team of physicians at the American Fork Hospital Cancer Center. It made it possible for me to receive care near my home and have the support of my loved ones.

American Fork Hospital is my family’s hospital.

After the dance, the group decided, “Hey, maybe we can make this work.” They’ve since performed all over the state for business parties, weddings, city functions and the Miss Utah pageant.

2017 Strawberry Day Dr. Linebaugh helps start Pleasant Grove rodeo tradition Many of you longtime Pleasant Grove residents may remember Dr. Linebaugh, but did you know that Dr. Linebaugh is the reason we have the rodeo grounds where the Strawberry Days Rodeo is held every year?

Dr. B.C. Linebaugh loved his horses (especially his race horses) and it was his dream to see a racetrack in Pleasant Grove. In July of 1946, Dr. Linebaugh and his wife Reva donated eight acres to the Pleasant Grove Riding Club with the hope that they would build a racetrack. It was later decided that this land would be used as the rodeo grounds (because of gambling laws).

Here’s a little more about Dr. Linebaugh and his family: In 1920, Dr. Linebaugh moved his family to Pleasant Grove and purchased his soft rock home (the home next to what is now the Bungalow Reception Center). The home was already equipped with an office in the basement, which is where Dr. Linebaugh set up shop. Dr. Linebaugh is remembered for his many years of service to the residents of Pleasant Grove both as physician and as a member of the city council for eight years. People speak fondly of his house visits and his cough syrup. They also remember the long needle/syringe he carried in his big black bag.

Dr. Linebaugh had five children - Jewel, Glade, Cassaline, Kayle and Lecta - with his first wife, Myrtle Barnes, and raised them in Moroni. After his first wife passed, he married a Pleasant Grove woman by the name of Reva Olive Jense. They had five children who were all raised in Pleasant Grove. Many of you may remember the three J’s, John, Jane and Jean, 34 • strawberrydays.org

and their younger siblings Paul and Truma.

Dr. Linebaugh’s children remember that their dad knew a good horse when he saw one. They also remember their father raising registered Hereford cattle. He would show the bulls and heifers at the state fair almost every year, and he won the Grand Champion Bull at the Utah State Fair in 1924. The land that is now designated for the rodeo grounds used to be pasture land for his cattle.

Dr. Linebaugh’s (still living) children John Linebaugh, Jane Robinson, Jean Bone and Truma Harding are grateful that their father could be honored for donating this land to the city and are proud that his love for horses and livestock can live on each year as the Strawberry Days Rodeo carries on this great tradition for the residents of Pleasant Grove.

Bull Riding Bull riding is the most popular and dangerous rodeo event. Riders strap themselves to the back of a 2,000-pound bull with a thick, flat, braided bull rope.

Attached to the underside of the bull rope is a large cowbell that adds sound effect to an exciting ride but also acts as a weight to help the rope come off the bull after the eight-second ride. Both the bull and the rider are judged in this event.

PRCA Events Steer Wrestling Steer Wrestling, also known as “Bulldogging,” is where the rider leans from the back of his running horse onto the back of a 600-pound steer, brings the steer to a stop and tosses the steer on its side to stop the clock. This event requires strength, speed and timing.

Sponsored by: Grease Monkey

Calf Roping Calf Roping, or Tie-Down, is an authentic ranch chore and the oldest of rodeo’s timed events. In this event, the roper ropes the calf from horseback at full speed, dismounts and runs the length of the rope to the calf where the roper has to get the calf on its side and tie three legs together with a six-foot pigging string.

Sponsored by: Grease Monkey

Team Roping Team roping is the only team event in rodeo. This event also originated from ranch chores. The team is made up of a header and a healer. The header ropes the horns, then dallies or wraps his rope around his saddle horn and turns the steer to the left for the other cowboy who ropes the heels. The heeler must throw a loop with precision timing to catch the steer by the hind feet.

Sponsored by: A.A. Callister

Barrel Racing Barrel Racing is a horse race with turns. The cowgirl rides her horse at top speed in a clover leaf pattern around 3 barrels in the arena. Tipping a barrel is permitted, but if it gets knocked over, a five-second penalty is added to her time. It’s all about speed in this event.

Wild Cow Milking

Sponsored by: B2 Air Systems

This event sounds as riotous as it really is. A three-man team works together to milk a wild cow. Each wild cow wears a halter with a lead rope and only the anchor man can hold the rope.

The mugger helps retain the cow in a standing position while the milker milks the cow into a bottle. When the milker has enough milk in the bottle, he runs to a designated area in the arena.

A minimum of three teams is required for each nightly performance. If the minimum is not met, the event for that night will be canceled and those who did register will be refunded their registration fee. To register to compete in this event, visit www.strawberrydaysrodeo.com.

Barrelman: Mark Swingler

Sponsored by: Infiniti Creation

By Lindsay Whelchel Well respected in the rodeo industry, 2014 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo Alternate Barrelman Mark Swingler has been entertaining PRCA rodeo fans for more than 22 years. From his widely acclaimed 1927 Model T/YMCA act to the original moonwalk, UPS delivery, T-shirt cannon and his latest Firetruck act, Swingler’s brand of slapstick comedy has kept crowds howling with laughter and rolling in their seats all across the nation.

He has been nominated for PRCA’s Clown of the Year three times as well as Top 5 Coors Barrelman nine times.

Wildly innovative and with a quick, clean sense of humor, it’s easy to see why Swingler is consistently one of the top five entertainers in the country.

Mark Swingler got his start fighting bulls in much the same way the profession itself got its start: out of necessity. As cowboys hopped on the backs of bulls, their buddies stepped up to ensure their safety and give them a way out of the arena.

Swingler rode bulls competitively throughout high school and college, fighting bulls as he was needed when he and his friends were in the practice pen. He bought his PRCA bull fighter card, but a new love was quickly taking root in Swingler - a love of entertaining the crowd while still protecting the riders.

“I got my card in 1993 and actually fought bulls my first year in the PRCA, but I started incorporating more acts and enjoying that a lot more,” Swingler says, and adds with a laugh that it was with age that the time came to hang up his cleats.

What he really did was trade the cleats for a host of crowd-pleasing tricks and a job as a specialty act or barrelman.

In the years since, Swingler has made a career, and a life, of blending professional rodeo with laughter. His quickwitted humor and unparalleled barrel-handling skills have earned him a reputation as one of the best in the business. He has been nominated repeatedly for PRCA’s annual awards in the categories of Comedy Act of the Year, Clown of the Year, and Coors Man in the Can – the last of which is decided by rodeo judges and bull riders and is based on the barrelman’s effectiveness at protecting both bull riders and fellow bull fighters. It’s a task Swingler takes a lot of pride in.

“The barrelman part is something that, being a bull rider and a bull fighter, I have quite a bit of advantage over guys that never rode or fought bulls, because I know exactly

what’s going on in everyone’s mind,” he says and cites protecting the riders as a team effort. “While we are there for entertainment, I do take [protecting others] seriously. I’ll pack it in on a wreck and position that barrel where we need to be, especially in these big arenas where we can protect not only the bull rider, but the bull fighter.”

As his career gains in longevity, the friendships Swingler has made over the years have sweetened. Now he’s finding himself returning to the same rodeos he’s worked in seasons past, and the friendships he’s made along the way pick up right where they left off. It’s a rewarding job with a bigger mission for Swingler.

“I think that if you can get out there and just let everybody let their thoughts go and not worry about daily life for two and a half hours, entertain the folks and let them come see a rodeo, making sure everybody has a good time, is just huge to me.”

Swingler can’t consider slowing down because he loves his work too much, but he has consolidated his run into a more compact four- to five-month schedule where he can still do 20 to 25 rodeos with 100-plus performances a year but be away from his home in Austin, Texas, less than he was in the beginning of his career.

Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night

The color pink is not something you would associate with the tough sport of rodeo. However, breast cancer has touched the lives of many rodeo families. The Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign was developed by Terry Wheatley, a breast cancer survivor, and Karl Stressman, director of special events for Wrangler.

The Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign debuted at the 2005 National Final Rodeo when one evening of competition was devoted to the cause. Cowboys and cowgirls were encouraged to wear pink to signify their support and sponsors made donations. The event became known as Pink Night. The Friday night performance of the Strawberry Days Rodeo is dedicated to the “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” cause and rodeo organizers are committed to raise awareness of breast cancer research. Be sure to show your support and wear pink to the performance.

Rodeo Announcer: Will Rasmussen With more than two decades of experience in the industry and a Wrangler and Ariat endorsee, Will Rasmussen is a veteran rodeo announcer who, since advancing to the PRCA ranks in 1994, has shared his style of announcing with rodeo fans in Montana and across the United States.

A smooth, easy-listening voice, solid knowledge of rodeo and a style that is both entertaining and informative are the mix of elements that make Will Rasmussen one of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s most popular rodeo announcers.

Rasmussen’s trademark is his enthusiasm for the sport and his ability to involve the entire audience in each of the rodeo events. His commentary is down-to-earth and sprinkled with rodeo facts and trivia that make the

show understandable and enjoyable for veteran fans and first-time enthusiasts. “I’m committed to getting the audience totally involved in every performance,” he says.

His personal knowledge of the sport, sense of humor and timing blend together for a quality presentation that enhances the rodeo and satisfies the fans. “I guess it’s my sense that you need more than just a rodeo,” he says.

“People want to be entertained.”

Rasmussen is a fast thinker who adjusts to the quicksilver changes of pace in the rodeo arena with humor and aplomb and is comfortable commenting on all facets of the sport.

The Montana man’s love of rodeo stems from his experience as the oldest child of the “Rodeoing Rasmussens,” a family in which just about everyone

was involved in the sport of rodeo. His mother is a timer and his father an experienced announcer.

One brother is a competitor while his youngest brother, Flint, is an eighttime “PRCA Clown of the Year.” Will’s dad, Stan, helped him get started in the business. “He called me and told me he had scheduled two rodeos for the same weekend,” Will says. “He needed me to bail him out.” That was back in 1981 when Will drove to Gardiner, Montana, to announce the Upper Yellowstone Stampede. “I was deathly afraid, but it went pretty well,” he recalls.

Will’s oldest son, Curt, ropes a little and occasionally hazes for youngest son Quincy. Quincy is currently attending Montana Western in Dillon, Montana, competing in three events for the Bulldogs’ rodeo team. Second daughter, Casey, also competes in the summer.

Since then, Rasmussen’s interest in announcing has grown from a weekend hobby to a full-time career, and he has found his place among the top announcers in his profession. While expanding his range and the variety of rodeos he has worked, Rasmussen has groomed his voice and skills to give rodeo-goers the best time they can have.

Fredette foundation

Sponsored by: doTERRA

Choose Kindness Initiative to begin in Pleasant Grove

Pleasant Grove City, doTERRA and the Fredette Family Foundation are joining together to build a “culture of kindness” in the city, and they are inviting local businesses and individuals to join them.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation and our Pleasant Grove community join us in the Kindness Initiative,” said Blair Giles, president and CEO of the Fredette Family Foundation. With former Brigham Young University basketball star Jimmer Fredette at its head, the Fredette Family Foundation works to strengthen families and youth through various means, whether that be meeting basic needs of food and clothing or promoting anti-bullying programs and kindness in schools.

Pleasant Grove City Councilman Eric Jensen said the three entities have been working together for about four months to look at the community’s needs and evaluate exactly how they will move forward. While the details are still being worked out, Jensen said a theme of “Choose Kindness” has been selected.

Also, a fundraising event has been tentatively scheduled for this fall where business leaders and others will be invited to contribute to the kindness effort. Money raised will be

used to benefit the community through the schools or another major project.

“What I’m hoping is that through the foundation, through community partners like doTERRA, the city and others, we can be examples of kindness and civility and move forward together in bettering our community,” Jensen said.

Giles said the Fredette Family Foundation currently has ongoing efforts to promote kindness and service in Jimmer Fredette’s hometown of Glens Falls, New York. In addition, the foundation has been involved for four years in a project called Provo Kindness through which kindness clubs have been organized in all 18 Provo schools.

Last year, the foundation also worked with Orem City to raise money for and build an all-inclusive playground for children with disabilities.

Through the Pleasant Grove Choose Kindness Initiative, similar efforts will now be implemented here as well.

Greg Cook, founding executive and president of Greater China for doTERRA, became familiar with the Fredette Family Foundation after expanding the business into China. Jimmer Fredette has been playing basketball for the Chinese Basketball Association, and Greg, Julie and their family had relocated to China and were able to meet Jimmer and his father, Al. doTERRA’s charitable organization, the Healing Hands Foundation, assists people wherever the company sources its products. doTERRA is the world leader in the sourcing, testing, manufacturing and distribution of CPTG® essential oils through a global network of more than 3 million independent direct-sale distributors, and its products are obtained in various countries throughout the world. Many of these countries are part of the developing world and in need of basics such as access to clean water, medical care and education.

McKay Brown, senior director of community relations and corporate culture for doTERRA, said doTERRA felt the Fredette foundation’s mission fit well with the Healing Hands Foundation’s efforts to help communities and children. With more than 2,000 employees working at doTERRA’s world headquarters in Pleasant Grove, doTERRA saw joining the Fredette Family Foundation’s efforts as a way to help its own local community. “doTERRA’s really excited about being part of this because Pleasant Grove is where many of our employees live and obviously where they work, so we’re just pleased to be able to support the local community in their Choose Kindness Initiative,” Brown said. doTERRA is contributing financially to the Pleasant Grove initiative and also expects its employees will be involved as volunteers.

More information about the Pleasant Grove Choose Kindness Initiative will be posted on the city website, www. plgrove.org, as it becomes available.

Thanks from the rodeo & Strawberry Days Chairpersons We are grateful to all the amazing volunteers and sponsors that help make Strawberry Days and the Rodeo such a great week of events for our community. Strawberry Days and the Strawberry Days Rodeo are the longest continuous running city celebration and rodeo in Utah (started in 1921) and we know how important it is to pay tribute to the countless volunteers before us that have made these events so amazing.

Because of the foresight and traditions that were established by these great men and women, we can bring families and our community together and celebrate this wonderful place we live in. Due to their sacrifices and service, we can truly call Pleasant Grove the “Home of the Free, Because of the Brave”. We invite everyone to come and enjoy the festivities during the week of Strawberry Days and have a great time at the Strawberry Days Rodeo.
