2026 GRAND MARSHALS

Wilford & Natalie Clyde

Wilford and Natalie Clyde are both native Utahns. Wilford was born right here in Springville, a fifth-generation Springville citizen and proud Red Devil alum. Natalie was born and raised in the Salt Lake Valley and is a Bingham High School alum. They met at Brigham Young University and have lived in Springville their entire married life, although Natalie knows she will sadly never be a “native.”

Wilford graduated from BYU in the field of accounting in 1977. He has worked in the family businesses of Geneva Rock and ultimately Clyde Companies. He retired in 2023 after 45 years but remains chairman of the board at Clyde Companies.

Natalie took her sweet time in graduating from BYU in the field of design. She finished her degree in 1987 with three daughters in tow. Both Natalie and Wilford are proud BYU alumni and attend many, many BYU events, particularly sports events. They see a lot of ball games involving grandkids!

Wilford is a past Springville mayor and city council member. He has been a member of various organizations such as Springville City Girls Softball (his favorite), the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Utah Associated General Contractors, the Utah Board of Higher Education and the Springville Museum of Art, among other assignments. He has served as president of the Salt Lake Chamber and the Cougar Club.

He loves to be involved in business and community endeavors and is constantly trying to “cut back,” but he loves working with people everywhere. He is looking forward to more golf and watching as many ball games, matches, meets, recitals, performances and celebrations as humanly possible.

Natalie has been involved with

the community, particularly youth activities. She has been involved with the Springville Museum of Art, the Children’s Arts Festival, Miss Springville, the Springville Youth City Council and the Springville High School Booster Club and has worked with the Nebo Education Foundation raising money for our kids in the Nebo School District. She is looking forward to more travel, some golf, lots more reading time, less yard work and more involvement with her grandchildren, who are just so fun!

The Clydes have four daughters who now live within the Utah and Salt Lake

valleys. Camille Clyde Hafen is married to Jeremy, Melia Clyde Peterson is married to Ty, Alison Clyde Henrie is married to Brandon and Katie Clyde Perkes is married to Tyson. All of their daughters are “native” Springvillians and all are Red Devil alumni.

Between their four daughters, Wilford and Natalie have four of the best sonsin-law and 19 amazing, talented, polite, pretty good lookin’ and intensely active grandchildren. They are very grateful for living in the wonderful town of Springville. Springville has been such a blessing!

2026 RESIDENT ARTISTS

Alma & Mike Loveland

Alma and Mike Loveland are Your Very Favorite. They are also your very favorite. And while this might feel like two phrases without much distinction, if you’re on their nationwide waitlist or you are their neighbor and friend, you know there’s a definite difference.

The Lovelands’ story starts in Springville. Mike grew up dreaming of illustrating children’s books one day. He chose “Utah’s Art City” as the perfect place to buy a home and plant his artistic roots. Alma, a graphic designer and writer, made her way from Canada to Utah for school. It was there she met Mike, and together they became partners — in life, in business and in art.

For years the two worked in various endeavors — Mike dialed in his distinct style of whimsical-yet-grounded illustration while Alma took on writing, editing and graphic design work. When the pandemic hit and the couple found themselves at home with their three kids, they took a moment to pause and ask themselves, “What if we tried something new? What could we do better than anyone else if we combined our skill sets?”

The answer? Their fascination with science trivia, historical lore, quirky facts about literally anything and a clever sense of humor (plus the urgent need to entertain kids who were suddenly home) was the perfect recipe for educational activity books. This is how they launched their business “Your Very Favorite” — a company that creates illustration-packed activity books for public outreach, education and community engagement that are made for kids and grownups alike!

Alma and Mike have achieved the dream of most artists — to make a valuable difference in the world through

their art. Their educational materials gained traction here in Utah where they’ve had the privilege of working with the American Fork Library, the City of Orem and the Springville Museum of Art. If you drop off your trash at the Transfer Station in Spanish Fork, you can even ask for a free copy of their “TRASH TALK” activity book to learn how trash and recycling work in our community!

Thanks to the support they’ve received here at home, their books are in demand by organizations all across the country. They cover topics like public health, disability, air quality, recycling, literacy and more!

So yes — Alma and Mike Loveland are Your Very Favorite. And if you take a moment to enjoy their work, they just might become your very favorite, too.

He trained for the hike by exploring the mountains around Springville, which he has enjoyed doing since early childhood.

He expressed his love and gratitude to his companion, friend and spouse, Becky. She has been his editor in chief and has joined him in numerous activities with family and community. She has always encouraged and supported him in his business and community activities.

2026 BUSINESS OF THE YEAR

Johnson Tire Service

Johnson Tire Service has come a long way from when its founder C. Edwin Johnson first began working with tires and batteries.

“He saw a lot of things change in the business, and it continues to change,” said Riley Johnson, Edwin’s greatgrandson. Riley now runs Johnson Tire with his cousin Jeff Jackson.

Johnson Tire began its second century in business after celebrating its 100th birthday in 2024.

Riley and Jeff are the fourth generation of the Johnson family to run the business, but many other family members work there as well. Johnson Tire has grown to become a business with approximately $5 million in annual sales.

“Springville’s been really good to us. Business is good. We live in a great community and, you know, Springville’s just awesome,” Riley said.

C. Edwin Johnson was a World War I veteran who was wounded in the European theater. After he recovered and was released from active duty, he learned he was eligible for a government loan to attend school. He’d always been interested in automobiles and eventually decided to attend an automotive school in Denver. The school specialized in generator and battery work and, as this was the early 1920s and the automobile was just coming into its own, Ed decided it was a field worth exploring.

After graduating from school, Ed was certified to repair and rebuild generators and starters as well as warehouse and check car batteries during the winter months. Upon returning to Utah - both Ed and his wife Esther were from the Benjamin area - Ed was looking for work when a brother-in-law mentioned he’d heard about an employment opportunity in Springville. Soon Ed was working for Bill and Earl Phillips at Phillips Garage in Springville.

Eventually, Ed learned that Bill

Grooms, who had a small tire and battery business in the garage, wanted to sell his business, giving Ed the golden opportunity to own his own business.

After acquiring Grooms’ business, Ed rented a “work bench” in the corner of Phillips Garage in 1924, officially beginning Johnson Tire Service.

After many years of working alone, Ed hired his first full-time employee, “Doc” Bertelsen, and they worked together

for many years. He also brought on Al Smith to help on a part-time basis, and the three of them worked side by side developing the business.

As business continued to grow, Ed realized he needed to move to a larger location. In early 1945, he purchased a property at 45 E. 200 South in Springville and started to build his own store.

In late 1945, Ed’s son Edwin joined

his father in the business after being discharged from active duty in World War II. In 1948, the two decided to go into the recap business with one tire mold and a press. Business increased, and they purchased retreading equipment from a store in Richfield.

Business was going well, but the father and son eventually saw that the generators and batteries they had started with were less important and tire sales and service seemed to be the direction to head in.

Ed and Esther left the business in 1964, and Edwin and his wife Beth purchased it from them. They continued in the 200 South building until they built and moved into an ultra-modern facility at 610 N. Main in Springville, where the business is still located. The building was later expanded to nearly double its original size.

“Everybody told me I was nuts to come out this far (on Main Street) because this was out of Springville practically,” Ed said in a past interview with The Springville Herald.

Johnson Tire Service continues to sell tires as well as offer full automotive service and repair including alignments, brake repair, tune ups and computer diagnostics.

“We’ve been fortunate to have multigenerational families come here for tires and other services,” Riley Johnson said in an interview with Tire Business, a newspaper serving the automotive service industry. “Older customers will tell us this is where they had their first bicycle tire fixed. Others will travel an hour and a half to come here. It’s not a stretch to say we owe our success to loyal members of our community.”

Making a Difference

102ND ANNUAL SPRING SALON

Through July 3

The 102nd annual Spring Salon, an art exhibit showcasing the diversity and quality of contemporary Utah art, is now open at the Springville Museum of Art.

The Spring Salon is one of the longestrunning art shows in the state of Utah. It is a juried exhibition featuring pieces by Utah artists from many backgrounds. The pieces are created using a wide variety of mediums.

The salon will remain on exhibit through July 3 at the museum, located at 126 E. 400 South in Springville.

The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Mondays, and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays. The museum is closed Sundays, and holidays (except for special events).

For more information about the Spring Salon or other events and exhibits at the museum, visit smofa.org.

The Spring Salon was first held in 1922. It was begun by students and teachers at Springville High School who wanted to exhibit and promote original artwork.

The salon has been held annually since that time except during World War II when fuel and other goods were rationed nationwide.

The salon is open to all Utah artists working in any media. Each artist may submit up to two works of art created within the last three years. Works over three years old are not eligible.

Each year, hundreds of art works are submitted for consideration, with around 250 works accepted for display as part of the Salon.

The entrants to the exhibit come from many backgrounds. There are many professional artists who enter their art for consideration, but many others are amateurs. There is a wide variety of art mediums including oil, acrylic and watercolor painting, traditional sculpture, mixed media and assemblage sculpture, photography

and digital media. Overall, the exhibit showcases the diversity and quality of contemporary Utah art.

One past tradition of the Spring Salon was the Penny Vote. Early in the history of the show, contestants for Art Queen from the high school received votes through pennies that were cast into a box. The contestant with the most pennies was selected as the Art Queen and the money went toward new art purchases for the museum.

SPRINGVILLE PLAYHOUSE

‘Pride & Prejudice’ & “Daddy Long Legs’

The Springville Playhouse will present two stage adaptations of books as part of the 2026 Art City Days celebration.

Performances of “Pride and Prejudice” and “Daddy Long Legs” will be presented at Merit Preparatory Academy, 1440 W. Center Street, Springville. Tickets are $15 per person and are available at springvilleplayhouse.com or at the door prior to the performance. Seating is limited, so advance ticket purchase is recommended.

“Pride and Prejudice” is a lively stage adaptation based on the classic novel “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen that brings wit, romance and social satire to life through theatrical storytelling. Set in Regencyera England, the story follows the intelligent and independent Elizabeth Bennet as she navigates family pressures, societal expectations and her complicated first impressions of the reserved yet honorable Mr. Darcy. Through sparkling dialogue, humor and heartfelt moments, the show explores themes of love, class, reputation and personal growth, ultimately revealing how humility and self-reflection can transform misunderstanding into genuine connection. This stage adaptation captures the charm and emotional depth of the original story while adding an energetic and contemporary theatrical flair.

“Daddy Long Legs” is an intimate and charming stage musical based on the classic novel “Daddy-Long-Legs.” Told through a series of letters, the story follows the bright and spirited orphan Jerusha Abbott, who is given the unexpected opportunity to attend college thanks to an anonymous benefactor she nicknames “Daddy Long Legs.”

As Jerusha writes to him about her studies, dreams and discoveries, she grows into an independent young

woman while forming a unique and heartfelt connection with the mysterious patron. With a small cast, lyrical score and warm humor,

MEDALLION TREASURE HUNT

June

Springville residents will be challenged to become super sleuths and use clues to find a special hidden item as part of the Art City Days Medallion Treasure Hunt.

Each day from Monday, June 8, through Thursday, June 11, at 9 a.m., a single clue will be revealed at springvilleutah.gov/art-city-days/ contests/medallion/ that will lead searchers to a special Springville medallion hidden somewhere in the community.

Each clue will be somewhat cryptic, so it will require deductive thinking to put each part together and find the medallion.

In past years, the medallion has been found out in the open, but it also has been found inside a public building. There will be a message on the medallion giving specific instructions to the person or group that finds it, which could result in them winning valuable prizes, including a $50 Amazon gift card and a gift basket full of Springville Swag.

After the four days of clues, a final clue may be released on Friday, June 12, at 9 a.m. if the medallion hasn’t been found by then.

Only one person will know where the medallion is hidden, so peppering city employees with questions will do you no good. Be very specific in your search as you get closer to finding the medallion, but, most of all, have fun!

DAILY MINI TREASURE HUNT

Returning for the second year is the Daily Mini Treasure Hunt. This hunt is a smaller, easier-to-solve riddle meant to be solvable in just a couple of hours. There will be a Daily Mini Treasure Hunt riddle released each morning during the Medallion Treasure Hunt. To participate in the Mini Treasure Hunt,

solve the clue, find the treasure and take your photo with it. Then return it to its hiding place so that others can find it all day or all week long.

Then, submit your photo via email to artcitydays@springvilleutah.gov. The first individual or group that submits a photo each day will be awarded a prize.

Another prize will be awarded to

the individual or groups that submits photos of all five treasures in the fastest total cumulative time.

Other prizes may be awarded to individuals or groups who submit evidence of all five treasures through random selection, so don’t give up! Happy hunting to all you treasure seekers out there!
