to do more of a performance this year than just my yodeling talent,” Cambrie said. “I’m going to be tapdancing and singing instead.” Last year’s talent show theme was “Salem’s Greatest Show” and the “I Was Born to Entertain” theme this year ties into the overall theme, “Let the Good Times Roll.” Cambrie has been singing since she was 2 years old and dancing since she was 3. “It’s a great experience and I like meeting all the other people,” Cambrie said. The Peterson family also participates in the Salem Days 5K each year and all five of Peterson’s children have participated in Salem Youth Council. “This year, Chloe is on the council so

she will be involved with every event,” Peterson said. Peterson used to be involved with the annual pageant for many years, but this year, she is helping to organize the entertainment. “We really love all of the activities, but the fireworks are the best,” Peterson said. “My kids have also participated in the mud volleyball tournament and the Duct Tape Regatta.” “It has always been a fun, local smalltown feel and we just love what it brings to the community,” Cammy Peterson said.

Experience tradition at the Utah County Fair BY LAURA GILES

Herald Correspondent

hether you want to experience years-long family traditions or create new ones, this year’s Utah County Fair, which will be held Aug. 14-17, is a place to start. “Experience Tradition” is the theme for this year’s fair, which is held at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds, 475 S. Main St. “County fairs are an American tradition and are a place where families make their individual traditions,” said Calli Nielsen, fair director. “We wanted a theme that encouraged people to relive and share their traditions with the community, to celebrate the long history of county fairs and to celebrate community tradition.” This year’s fair will have some traditional activities and events, as well as new ones. “The Demolition Derby sells out every year and is our most popular event,” Nielsen said. The derby will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 17. Another popular event is the monster truck show and figure 8 race. Monster trucks Bigfoot and Snake Bite will join the show this year. The show

Animals are always a big part of the fair. At the livestock shows, visitors can look at the different animals, including pigs, sheep and cows and even

see the ones that win the various awards. There will also be a taxidermy show, with local taxidermists entering their work to be judged. A Youth Fun Horse Show will be held at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 15. This is for ages 8-17. Events include egg race, butterfly poles,

Big M, keyhole stake, barrels, ring race and Big T. “We are so excited for our dinosaur exhibit this year,” Nielsen said. “Other favorite events are the reptile show and rodeo.” The Western Night Rodeo will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 15. The rodeo is free and tickets can be printed from the Utah County Fair’s website. New events that have been added to this year’s lineup will allow community members to begin new traditions. “We added a Cultural Dance Celebration, which will include African, Native American, Mexican, Puerto Rican and Latin dances,” Nielsen said. Experience-based events are also new this year. These include roping lessons, axe throwing, a dinosaur museum and robotics competitions. “We are excited to have kids’ activities provided by BYU Museum of Art and Orem Public Library,” Nielsen said. “Overall, we want attendees to come and learn something new, and enjoy that experience.” There is free admission, free parking

Payson adds four new events to annual Onion Days celebration BY ARIANNE BROWN

Herald Correspondent

or the past 90 years, the city of Payson has held the annual Golden Onion Days as its citywide celebration. The five-day event that began in 1929 as a way to reunite current and former residents around the onion harvest will do it again. Much like the first Golden Onion Days, there will be a contest for the largest onion that will no doubt be devoured by onion lovers in the area. And much like the onion that will soon take home the coveted prize, Payson is growing. To accommodate the growth, and with it, the expanding interests of its community members, this year’s festival will add four new events: a duck race, glow-in-the-dark golf, skateboard competition and a pickleball tournament. According to city event coordinator Janeen Dean, these are all exciting new additions. “These new events will be a lot of fun, while at the same time, give back to the community,” Dean sad. The Great Peteeteneet Duck Race will

seum. Participants can purchase ducks starting July 15 at the museum during business hours up until the day of the race, and they can also be purchased during Onion Days next to the information booth.” The Night Golf Tournament will be held at 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1, on the Gladstan

Golf Course, with each participant being given glow-in-the-dark accessories. “Night golf is going to be a fun event,” Dean said. “We wanted to do a golf tournament but didn’t want to take away from regular hours of business, so we decided on night golf. The cost will be $40 per entrant, which includes nine holes of golf with carts, glow-in-the-dark golf balls and accessories, and will be limited to the first 60 paid entries. All of the proceeds will go back into the Miss Payson Pageant.” The pickleball tournament will be held at 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30, and 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, at the new pickleball courts at Memorial Park. A ribbon cutting event and pickleball clinic will be held at 6 p.m., Aug. 1 at the courts. The skateboarding competition will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, at the Payson skate park. Many other events, including the 5K/10K race, Payson Community Theater’s “Once Upon a Mattress,” carnival, Grand Parade and much more will be part of the week’s festivities that go from Thursday, Aug. 29 to Monday, Sept. 2.

Salem lets the good times roll at 68th annual Salem Days BY ERICK GRAHAM WOOD

Herald Correspondent

alem Days returns Aug. 2, with the theme “Let the Good Times Roll,” and with over 35 events spanning eight days, this year’s event promises to be electric. Each year, Knoll Park in Salem becomes the center for concerts, fireworks, various sports tournaments and more. Sponsored by the city’s recreation department, recreational director Matt Marziale and recreation manager Jen Wright have been working to put together the event. “It’s so much fun and the entire community works so hard to put it together,” said Cammy Peterson, a parent of five kids who all have volunteered on the Salem Youth Council. Salem Days began in 1951 and at first was just a breakfast in the park. It was hosted by the Lions Club and in the past 68 years it has expanded and evolved into the event many community members look forward to each year.

“I just love going to the park each year and having some good food and watching the kids play,” said Gina Zolinger, a resident of Salem. “They’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember, and it has become a beloved tradition in my home.” One popular event is the Cardboard Duct Tape Regatta. Teams of two people are given two hours to construct a boat from pieces of cardboard and duct tape with hopes that they can have something that will float and steer. The teams then race on the beach at Knoll Park in four categories: family, youth, adult and freestyle. Other events include a baby contest, a car show, a children’s parade and a family fun run. A free breakfast in the park on Saturday, Aug. 10 is sponsored by Stokes Fresh Food Market. There will also be multiple opportunities for the community to fill their stomachs throughout the week including a barbecue to raise money for Salem ambulances that same day.

Celebrate different cultures at the Utah County Fair BY LAURA GILES

Herald Correspondent

rich variety of cultures make up the community of Utah County. Many of those cultures will be shared at the Utah County Fair. This is the first year that the Opening Night Cultural Celebration will be held. The celebration, which will entertain as well as educate visitors, is designed to honor the diverse people in the community, and will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 14. “We want to produce a fair that achieves two purposes: supports local performers and is representative of the wonderfully diverse community we have here in Utah County,” said Calli Nielsen, fair director. “We felt very strongly that a free concert that will give several different cultures an opportunity to showcase their culture through dance, music and spoken word would be a great way to achieve these two purposes.” The Cultural Celebration will include African, Native American, Mexican, Latin American, youth Mexican

Each group of dancers will use their performances to tell their stories. Nielsen said the performing groups were not told what to perform by the fair committee; rather, the groups are encouraged to use their creativity and talents to demonstrate what represents them and what they

want the attendees to know about their different cultures. “Some of the groups will have live music, others will have spoken word, some will be interactive with the audience, all will have dance in their performances. The most important thing is they are telling the story they wish

to tell,” Nielsen said. Nielsen said when the fair committee and the performing groups were planning the celebration, it was decided that having a free family event would be the best way to include as many people as possible in this celebration. “Bring the whole family,” Nielsen said. “We have such a diversity of performers, there really is something for everyone at this performance.” The Opening Night Cultural Celebration is free for all attendees. While the event begins at 7 p.m., doors open at 6 p.m. The celebration will be held at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds, 475 S. Main St. More information can be found at http://UtahCountyFair.org or on the Utah County Fair Facebook page. “We are really excited to showcase, support, celebrate and highlight Utah County diversity,” Nielsen said. “Dance and music are engaging ways to create a memorable experience with attendees, which we feel will foster strong community relationships.”

5 reasons kids should play outside more

STATEPOINT

hether it’s dance lessons, computer projects, art class or yoga, kids these days are busy bees. And while such activities are enriching and fun, experts say that many kids aren’t spending enough time doing something much simpler and every bit as important as structured programming: playing outdoors. “Finding time for the kids to play outside can be such a challenge for parents,” says Keri Wilmot, a pediatric occupational therapist and an expert contributor to TheGeniusofPlay.org. “As a parent I worry about ‘stranger danger’ or whether my kids will be able to navigate social issues on their own. Without spontaneity, playtime has lost some of it’s fun.” Outdoor play is necessary for healthy child development, according to The Genius of Play. The initiative, whose mission is to raise awareness about the importance of play and help parents make play a critical part of raising their kids, is sharing five benefits of unstructured outdoor playtime: • Physical development: Research has shown that physically active kids tend to be leaner and healthier, while an inactive childhood can lead to a sedentary (and likely unhealthy) lifestyle in adulthood. Furthermore, physical play builds gross and fine motor skills necessary for success in school and beyond. Hanging from

the monkey bars, for instance, helps kids develop the hand muscles needed to grip a pencil. • Risk-taking: Through outdoor play, children are given the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones and try new things. While taking risks won’t always lead to success on the first try, moments like a first bike ride without training wheels, or the first trip down the big slide in the playground, are critical for building the confidence and resilience needed to pursue a future career, start a business, or handle life’s many challenges. • Social skills: Childhood games played outdoors can help build social skills and teach kids to follow directions. From games as simple as tag, to those with

more complicated rules, like “Kick the Can,” “Capture the Flag,” and sports like soccer and basketball, communication, teamwork and other important social skills are developed during outdoor play. • Problem-solving: Children’s imaginations are often stimulated by the world around them. Being outside widens their horizons and can encourage kids to tap into their creativity in order to come up with solutions to challenges, such as learning how to build a sandcastle or figuring out how to climb up a jungle gym. • Reducing stress: So much outdoor play involves physical activity, thrilling moments and a sense of freedom, all of which can boost endorphins, helping to lower stress levels and reduce anxiety and depression. Interestingly, simply touching dirt when creating mud pies or digging for worms can be beneficial. According to a Bristol University study, certain types of “friendly” bacteria in soil have been found to activate the group of neurons that produce serotonin, which contributes to a feeling of well-being and happiness. So, don’t be afraid to let your kids get a bit dirty out there! For play ideas, expert advice and other play resources, visit http://TheGeniusOfPlay.org. Playtime is essential for children. To promote health, happiness and confidence, be sure some of it is spent outdoors.

Golden Onion Days brings back skateboarding BY ARIANNE BROWN

Herald Correspondent

his year’s Payson Golden Onion Days celebration is bringing back an old favorite: the skateboarding competition. According to the competition organizer, Jimmy Ray, skateboarding and the competition itself had a big impact on his life growing up in Payson. He said he hopes to do the same for youth by bringing back the event that was held years ago. “I was born and raised in Payson and began skateboarding when I was 7 years old,” he said in an email. “I basically grew up at the skate park, and I still remember the first one they built. It was all made of metal, and I got some good bumps and bruises from that park. Some of my skater friends and I actually helped design the skate park that is in Payson today.” Ray recalled competing in the event years ago, and even winning it one year. He said it was such a great feeling to win because all the hours he spent at the skate park paid off. He wants

regular competitive sports, so they turn to something they have the opportunity to express themselves with. Skating is relatively inexpensive and gives our youth something to do, and like anything, it takes hard work. Hard work keeps them out of trouble, and I feel like that is extremely important

in such a small town.” Ray, who also owns a clothing company targeted toward empowering people to reach their goals, encourages those who want to try the skateboarding competition to do so. “Our company — that is called Relentless Empire — is big into motivation and we want this event to be for those who have been putting in hours developing their skills a place to shine,” Ray said. “The skateboarding competition is a good opportunity for kids to get out of their comfort zone, build self confidence and break out of their shell. It is an opportunity for us to reach out to our youth and reward them for being relentless on their quest for success.” The event will take place at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug.31, at the Payson skate park, right next to the city pool. The competition is open to all ages and abilities, for both skateboards and scooters, and costs $15. To register for the event, go to https://relentless-empire.myshopify.com/pages/ events.
