43rd Annual Scandinavian Festival returns to Ephraim Ephraim City welcomes the annual Scandinavian Heritage Festival as it returns again for the 43rd year on Memorial Weekend, Friday and Saturday, May 24-25. The festival includes two full days of music, entertainment, crafts, arts, demonstrations, speakers, stories, food, vendors, sports, car show, tours, parade and fireworks. Visitors from all around come to enjoy the traditional festivities. About 650,000 Utahns trace their ancestry to Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland. Many of those living in Sanpete are descended from 19th Century Scandinavian converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One of the best recommendations for visitors is to seek out the information booth located at 150 East 100 North, pick up an event guide and map. They will help to answer the many questions about the festival. Visit the Scandinavian Festival’s website at http://scandinavianfestival.org. Pioneer reenactments The festival begins Friday, May 24, at 9 a.m., when the Pioneer Heritage Company will begin showing festivalgoers how the pioneers lived, worked and played. Come to Snow College, 100 East 100 North, for two days of reenactments that should give modern day folks a glimpse into the pioneer way of life. See how pioneers cooked historic Scandinavian recipes over an open fire. Then, stick around for demonstrations on period sewing, woodworking and listen to some good old-fashioned pioneer storytelling. The kids should have fun participating in pioneer children’s games and activities. The reenactments and demonstrations go from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Heritage Conference Beginning at 10 a.m., Friday, the Scandinavian Heritage Conference will take place in the auditorium of the Snow College Huntsman Library, 150 East College Ave.

Quilt Expo Also beginning at 10 a.m., Friday, is the Scandinavian Heritage Festival’s Quilt Expo. It takes place upstairs in the Ephraim Co-op Building, 96 North Main Street, on Friday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. The expo includes quilts from local artists, particularly quilts that exemplify Ephraim’s Scandinavian or pioneer heritage and Mormon pioneer handicraft as kept alive by today’s aficionados. A patchwork of quilts is expected to show up at the Scandinavian Festival Quilt Show; hand sewn, machine sewn, appliqued, pieced or perhaps even antique. Many quilters are people who like to sit down, be with others and work together on puzzles, said quilt show coordinator Marcia Christensen. “We’ve always said quilting is kind of crazy, you take some nice material and take it apart into pieces, and then you put it back together again.” Local quilting groups, like the Mountain Valley Quilting Group in Gunnison, the Horseshoe Mountain and Stitchin’ Sisters groups in Ephraim, and Quilt Keepers in Wales, may contribute quilts to the show, but others are encouraged to bring their works in as well. Antique quilts, that may have been in the family for years, are also welcome as are quilts by young or first-time quilters, and quilted projects other than blankets. But tied or kit quilts are not encouraged, Christensen said. The show will not be judged, but visitors may vote for their favorite quilts. To show a quilt, bring it to the co-op between 10 a.m.-6 p.m., on Wednesday May 22; or by 10:30 a.m., on Thursday, May 23. Quilt show organizers will attempt to show all works brought in depending on available space. For more information or to enter a quilt, call Marcia Christensen, 435-851-4061. Entertainment From Friday Noon through Saturday at dusk, the festival grounds on the north side of the Snow College campus and at Pioneer Heritage Park, 50 North 100 West, will buzz with costumes, dancing, storytelling, entertainment, historical tours, craft and food booths and more. Storytelling In the cold, dark winters of old Scandinavia, storytellers were held in high esteem because of their ability to spin tales of adventure, romance, and war providing a welcome diversion from everyday tasks. Eager listeners stared into the flames while images of magical conquests swept through their minds and inflamed their imaginations. Over time, electronic entertainments seem to have shuffled storytellers off to the pages of history books, except for special events such as Ephraim’s Scandinavian Heritage Festival. On Friday and Saturday afternoon storytellers will be drawing on the old and cherished tradition of storyteller Hans Christian Andersen, as storytelling has expanded to include pioneer stories A20 SANPETE COUNTY RECREATION GUIDE

Free fishing day scheduled June 8 A fishing license is not required on Free Fishing Day, Saturday, June 8. If it’s been years since going out fishing, or one has never fished before, mark the date on the fishing calendar. Randy Oplinger says even experienced anglers should mark June 8 on their calendars. He says early June is one of the best times of the year to fish in Utah, which makes Free Fishing Day the perfect time to take someone who doesn’t have a fishing license fishing. “Bring a spouse, a teenager or a friend to introduce to fishing,” says Oplinger, sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, “Free Fishing Day is a great day and way to do it.” Special events People who don’t have any fishing equipment, or would like some help fishing can attend one of the special events planned to take place that day. Oplinger says, “Volunteers who can help anyone fish will be available at most events.
Before the events, many of these waters will be stocked with fish.” To discover where the events are, which the DWR is involved with, anglers can learn more by visiting the DWR’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/UtahDWR. Fishing basics If the plan is to pick up a rod and reel and fish on June 8, several websites provide videos and other instruction that teach the basics of fishing. One of the best is www. takemefishing.org/how-to-fish/how-tocatch-fish. Fishing reports Anglers can stay updated on fishing in Utah, by reading the DWR’s fishing reports at www.wildlife.utah.gov/hotspots. Two additional websites: http://www. bigfishtackle.com and http://utahwildlife. net also provide up-to-date fishing information. Learn the rules Anglers won’t need a license to fish on June 8, but the remaining fishing rules in
Large inventory 0% APR $0 Down
Utah will be in effect. The rules are available in the 2019 Utah Fishing Guidebook. To get the free guidebook visit www.wildlife.utah. gov/guidebooks. “If anyone has questions about a rule or about fishing in Utah,” Oplinger says, “please give our offices a call. We’d be happy to help.” A list of DWR offices is available at www. wildlife.utah.gov/about-us/contact-us. html. Community Lake The U.S. Forest Service is sponsoring a Free Fishing Day event which includes a fishing contest.

The building also housed the first post office, a dance hall, and the upstairs housed the Sanpete Stake Academy from 1888 to 1904, which later became Snow College. It has been the center for many town meetings and educational activities over the years.

Mormon Miracle Pageant set for last performances June 13-22 This year marks the 53rd yearly presentation of the pageant and will be the last performance. The pageant will be presented on eight nights, June 13-15, 18-22 with no performance on Sunday or Monday. Admission is free. Gates open each night at 6 p.m., and the pageant begins at 9:30 p.m. For the past 52 years, Manti has taken on new life and excitement when the Manti Temple grounds of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been turned into a giant stage, larger than a football field, for the Mormon Miracle Pageant. Travelers are expected to flock to Manti for these last performances. Those who plan to come are encouraged to plan for accommodations in advance. There are places to stay, but those may fill up rapidly. Visitors are encouraged to come early, spend some time of quiet relaxation and historical reflection, tour the grounds of the historic Manti LDS Temple, built in 1888 and spend a night or two in the area. During the pageant, the town truly comes alive as a cast of over 900 depict with dance, music and drama, a unique historical production for a large audience seated under the canopy of stars. This year, the pageant will again retell the account of the resurrected Jesus Christ visiting the people on the American continents. The dramatization includes Christ healing and teaching the people, as well as blessing the children, just as he did in Jerusalem. Then time fast-forwards to the 1800s, when farm boy Joseph Smith received and later translated the record of this ancient American people. The record is known today as the Book of Mormon. Finally, the presentation concludes with the story of a fictional couple searching for religious truth and enlightenment and the joy they find upon discovering that family relationships can be eternal. First time pageant-goers will find the A28 SANPETE COUNTY RECREATION GUIDE

following tips useful: Arrive early for optimum seating. First-come seating is provided for 14,000 and there is room on the grass for additional spectators. June evenings can be cool so bring a sweater or blanket. Blankets may be used on chairs but are not allowed in the aisles. It is wise to also be prepared in case of inclement weather. There are facilities and accommodations for special needs, lost and found, drinking fountains, restrooms, translators. Search and Rescue and emergency personnel are on site. While the pageant is free, dinner is not. Travelers are welcome to bring a picnic dinner or visitors can also purchase a barbequed turkey or roast beef dinner near the pageant grounds. The tasty meals are reasonably priced
and will be served each evening during the pageant at the National Guard Armory, 100 West Union, in Manti. In addition, a variety of food and craft booths will also be available in the Food Court located at 200 North Main. Remember to eat before returning to the pageant as no food or drink is allowed on the temple grounds. Plan to stay overnight in Manti the night of the pageant as traffic will be exceptionally congested at the conclusion of the production. Many visitors find that staying at a bed and breakfast adds to the experience, providing a unique local perspective, plus great service. Whether choosing a bed and breakfast, hotel, or campground, be sure to make reservations well in advance. Please see PAGEANT, Page A29
PAGEANT From A28
Camping at Manti City Park, 200 North 300 West, is allowed only during the pageant on a first-come, first-serve basis. Reservations are not taken. Restroom facilities are available, but no showers.

Take a scenic drive, rent ATVs, check out the nearby fishing, hiking and mountain biking trails or visit one of the museums, unique boutiques or craftsman shops. For those not familiar with the story of The Book of Mormon, it may help to learn a bit about its history before attending the pageant.

Celebrate Welsh Days in Wales June 28-29 The quiet town of Wales, originally named “Coal Bed,” due to the coal mines operated by immigrants from Wales, will get a bit rowdier for the annual Welsh Days, scheduled to be held Friday and Saturday, June 28 and 29, in the city park, 150 South State. The name, Coal Bed, was changed to Wales in 1869. There once was a railroad depot and it was an important and busy mining center.

About Manti Prophet Brigham Young, of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sent the first settlers to Manti after he received an invitation by Ute Chief Wakara to send people down to the San Pitch area to teach the Utes how to farm. The original company of 50 pioneer families arrived in the winter of 1849. The pioneers, whose first camp was established on what is now Temple Hill, spent that first winter enduring hardships of scant food, clothing, hostile Indians and makeshift housing. Settlers were forced to use wagons and dugouts for protection against the severe cold and 700 Indians camped not far away. About half of the cattle froze to death and the people were unable to get more food and supplies from Salt Lake City. But winter was not the only problem, as spring approached the ground thawed and the pioneers were faced with hundreds of rattlesnakes. Miraculously not one of the settlers died from snakebite. Isaac Morley, the leader of this pioneer group was given the honor of naming the town. He suggested ‘Manti’ as a good name, and so the name was adopted. Manti is a town mentioned in the Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ, which is considered as scripture by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Lightning storms get a bad rap for causing power surges, but did you know most surges actually come from inside the home? 80% of residential surges are caused by devices you use every day, including your hair dryer, your A/C unit, and even your garage doors. Every single time you turn on a high-power device, it forms a mini-surge in your home’s electrical circuitry that reduces the life expectancy of your appliances. Over time, these mini surges can damage the circuit boards in appliances and electronics and may cause them to fail or not operate properly - which could cost you thousands of dollars.

Lamb Days celebration July 16-20 During the 1850s the area now known as Fountain Green was just a popular campground for Salt Creek and San Pitch travelers. Modern day visitors can get there by driving east through Salt Creek Canyon to enter the Sanpete Valley from Nephi or by heading north out of Moroni. Once they arrive on the east end of Salt Creek Canyon those traveler’s will encounter historic Fountain Green. The original campground was located just below the Divide and Mt. Nebo where a green fountain called “Big Springs,” which was second to no other spring in the Sanpete Valley, puts out some of the best water around. Over time the Johnson’s and other families from Santaquin in Utah Valley settled the area and named it Fountain Green. Each July, Fountain Green throws a big celebration known as Lamb Days. The name is fitting due to the historic nature of the area where raising sheep was a huge industry and is still an ongoing way of life for some. Lamb Days draws people from all over and the annual activities include: Co-ed softball tournaments, entertainment, youth lamb show and judging, mutton and sourdough dinner, youth talent show, fun run, chuck-wagon breakfast, craft fair, parade, and fireworks. Lamb Days events This year the events get started on Tuesday, July 16, as the annual Co-ed softball Tournament gets under way. The tournament continues through Thursday, July 18, and participants must be current or past residents only. Sign up at the Fountain Green General Store, 84 South State. On Friday and Saturday, July 19-20, the men’s softball tournament will take place. To enter teams, contact Ryan Johnson (435) 262-6187.

Treasures on display at Fairview Museum of History and Art Visitors to Sanpete County are encouraged to seek out one of Utah’s jewels, The Fairview Museum of History and Art. Too big for just one building, the exhibits fill two large buildings, the Heritage and Horizon buildings and grounds located at 85 North 100 East. Heritage The Heritage Building is a former school built in 1900, where visitors can explore room after room of displays on two floors. There are thousands of historical artifacts, and over 100 pieces of art created by world-renowned sculptor Avard T. Fairbanks, which Dr. Fairbanks donated to the museum. Fairbanks sculptures are displayed world-wide, many in Washington D.C. He also sculpted many larger-than-life size works representing major events in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many of the rooms in the Heritage building display settings from the 1800s; a sitting room including furniture, knick-knacks, and piano; a fully furnished bedroom; a complete kitchen; and one unusual room shows an 1800s dentist office (try not to wince when you see it). Horizon The more contemporary Horizon Building houses regional art, including the Rotating Artists Gallery that features the artistic creations of selected artists and changes every six weeks. Also in the Horizon Building are historical displays such as the Blackhawk Indian War, a large Clark Bronson bronze collection, an impressive shell and rock collection and historical and genealogical library collections. But it’s hard to miss the center piece, an enormous mammoth skeleton that was discovered just 13 miles from Fairview. Another unusual display is the history of turkeys in the region, starting with how they were used by the Native American culture. On the grounds Outside, visitors can see a large display of antique machinery and
Lyndon Graham created several pieces of art which are on display at the Fairview Museum of History and Art. He created a miniature of the Taj Mahal using pink and white alabaster stone.

The Relic Home houses a wide array of well-preserved artifacts from times gone by.

Last summer, a new original cabin was placed on the grounds west of the blacksmith shop. While in the area, visitors are encouraged to drop by and see the new arrival’s featured displays. Local residents and anyone seeking to know more about the area’s history are welcome to drop in, along with school students for arranged tours.

Visitors welcome daily at fish hatchery The Fountain Green State Fish Hatchery is open every day of the week for visitors. It is located northwest of Fountain Green at 1600 West Fish Hatchery Road. When traveling on Highway 132 between Nephi and Fountain Green watch for the signs just north of Fountain Green. There is a pretty good chance that anyone who plans or likes to go fishing in Utah will catch a fish that may have come from the hatchery. It all starts with thousands of eggs which hatch and become some of the thousands and thousands of fish swimming in tanks just waiting as they grow. It is truly fascinating to watch the fish in their various stages of growth. Raising fish is a year-round project and always in demand because most reservoir fisheries are heavily used and not able to sustain themselves through natural recruitment or reproduction of the fish in the pond. So the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) has implemented a management program dependent on stocking hatchery-reared fish statewide. The Fountain Green facility is just one of the division’s hatcheries, but it is also the only one that is open to the public year-round. The hatchery is a great location for the whole family to visit as it provides an opportunity to view some of Utah’s fish species close up and a sense of the work that must go into stocking Utah’s lakes and streams. To grow healthy fish requires clean water and one of the things Fountain Green is well-known for is its clean, pure water. The water comes from an artesian spring that flows from the base of the San Pitch Mountain range known as “The Big Springs.” This spring is the source of water for the hatchery and is channeled through multiple tanks where the fish grow and are separated by size. The Fountain Green hatchery raises 1,000,000 fish or about 180,000 pounds of trout yearly. Species include Rainbow, Cutthroat and Tiger Trout. The fish raised here are used to stock primarily the lakes and reservoirs in the region along with other
Carter’s Laundromat
Visitors to the Fountain Green State Fish Hatchery are welcome to come and see the fish as they grow and prepare for stocking the many lakes and ponds statewide. The hatchery is open seven days of the week from 8 a.m.-4 p.m., and on holidays, located at 1600 West Fish Hatchery Road, northwest of Fountain Green.

The DWR recently collaborated with several groups and landowners to restore Colorado River cutthroat trout to part of their native home in Range Creek. An interesting video about the project can be viewed online at https://youtu.be/anZmezolJuw.

Sanpete aquatics provides fun at five local locations Swimming isn’t just a fun way to cool off during the summer. It’s one of the few sports or activities that doesn’t cost lots of money or require special gear or equipment. It offers a total-body workout, is easier on the joints, increases flexibility, and can be enjoyed at any age—from toddlers to seniors. Swimming is actually a physical activity in which you can participate any time of the year if an indoor pool is available or temperatures are mild. So, find a swimsuit, grab a friend, and head for the nearest pool. There are five facilities in Sanpete County which provide public swimming. Mt. Pleasant The newest facility in the county is the Mt. Pleasant Aquatic Center located at 74 East Main. The pool is available year-round as an indoor pool with six lap lanes, a zero depth entry wading area and small water slide. Large doors on the north end can be opened during good weather. The pool is adjacent to the Mt. Pleasant City Splash Pad, with its outdoor fountains, water jets and deck area for sunbathing. Classes, activities and special events along with facility rentals are available. For hours of operation, call (435) 462-1333 or visit http://mtpleasantcity.com/pool. Ephraim The Snow College — Horne Activity Center is located at 350 East Center Street, Ephraim. The facility is open to all students and the public. The center has a variety of activities for the entire family: Indoor swimming pool, racquetball, volleyball, wallyball, basketball, indoor track, indoor soccer and fitness center. There are some equipment rentals available in addition to facility use charges. The building schedules can change at any time. For more information, visit www.snow.edu/athletics/ac/ or call the AC Issue Room at (435) 283-7039. Manti The Manti City Aquatic Center and Water Park is located at 64 West 500 North. It is an outdoor pool complete with water slide, zero depth entrance wading area, whirl pool and lap lanes. It is open seasonally, dependent on weather. Pool classes, lessons and facility rentals are available. For more information, call (435) 835-4320 or visit http://manticity.com/swimming.html.

In addition to the main pool, there is a kiddie pool and water slide. During warm weather, large doors on the south side of the facility can be opened for ventilation.

What could be more fun on a hot day than a splash in the local swimming pool? Classes available and activities offered, such as Monday night movies in the pool at 6 p.m. For more information, call (435) 5287126 or visit http://www.gunnisoncity.org/swimming-pool. htm. North Sanpete Skyline Mountain Resort Pool is located between Mt. Pleasant and Fairview, about 2.5 miles south of Fairview on the Mountainville Highway. The facility has a medium-sized outdoor pool with water slide. It is open during summer months, Memorial Day thru Labor Day and welcomes the public to use the pool. Summer hours are 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday through Saturday; and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sunday. Private rentals are available. For more information, call (435) 427-9590. New this year, the pool is now a saltwater swimming pool. It is the only public saltwater pool in Sanpete. Those who swim in saltwater swimming pools will notice a level of comfort that is different from the typical pool that uses added chlorine and chemical stabilizers for sanitation. Chlorine has the tendency to cause red eyes, itchy skin, and discolored hair. Because saltwater is softer on skin than chlorine, those who use a saltwater swimming pool won’t have to suffer any of those symptoms of chlorine. In a saltwater pool, a regenerative process creates the chlorine and the saltwater purification system provides on-site production of the sanitizer necessary to maintain water in a safe, healthy and algae-free condition.

Palisade The Palisade 18 hole, par 72 golf course measures 6,360 yards from the back tee markers but plays longer because all the par-5s play uphill. However, the golf course will challenge even the most advanced player because of the difficulties encountered around the greens. The mountain layout has an elevation change of 230 feet from 5,885 feet at the base to 6,115 at the top. Though it’s expansive undulating greens are truly a test, the greatest challenge may be signature hole number 4. This 179-yard par-3 has an elevation drop of 70 feet and requires golfers to carry the ball over a canyon, and land it precisely on the green. A ball hit too long will hit into the mountain behind the green and ricochet anywhere. On the other hand, a ball hit too short will certainly come to rest in the canyon below. The Salt Lake Tribune has likened this hole to the famous 12th at Augusta National and the Deseret News had A62 SANPETE COUNTY RECREATION GUIDE
