Rounding up a Lehi staple Amie Rose SPECIAL TO THE HERALD

or more than 70 years, Lehi has been honoring its heritage during the last full week of June with the Round-Up celebration. The Lehi Round-up name was coined by Ethel Hunger, as part of a contest to name the city celebration. The title honors the farm and ranch legacy of Lehi pioneers, according to festival organizers. That year, just months before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Lehi’s mayor and city council formed a civic improvement association, and that group was tasked to start a city celebration. A volunteer committee still organizes and runs the annual festival. Though city leaders formed the committee to start and run the city celebration in 1941, the rodeo had been a part of the city for several years before that. It started in

1937 and celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2012. To celebrate that anniversary, cowboys and cowgirls drove cattle down Main Street as part of the Round-up, just like they did in 1937. The Lehi Round-up Rodeo is a three-night event and a major stop on the Wilderness Circuit for professional cowboys and cowgirls. There’s also the stock parade on the Thursday night of the festival, miniature float parade on Friday night and a grand parade Saturday morning. The miniature parade features mostly children, who are riding on elaborately designed and decorated tiny floats, or walking alongside the floats, designed by local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wards. There also are people riding horses and other parade staples. For more information about this year’s Round-up go to https:// www.lehi-ut.gov/roundup. GRANT HINDSLEY, Daily Herald

Pleasant Grove: where victory is sweet J’Nel Wright Special to the Herald

t one time, Pleasant Grove was filled with strawberry fields. Strawberries were the economic mainstay of this town, and when the fruit was harvested, the early residents would celebrate with a neighborhood party. By 1921, Strawberry Days became a lasting tradition in this area and remains the longest continually running event in Utah. Today’s celebration includes a carnival, food, 5K race, grand parade and many other events. However, when pioneers first settled this valley, life was far from pleasant. In truth, tangles with the Ute Indian tribe, who first inhabited this area, inspired a different name for this town — Battle Creek. Early settlers were likely feeling like they were on the battlefront from all sides. From hostile neighbors, theft,

undeveloped area, the earliest residents of Pleasant Grove, as it would be officially renamed about 1855,

remain a symbol of determination and unshakable faith that shines through in its residents today. The cornerstone of the festivities today is the ruby red strawberry; a symbol beheld with reverence and optimism when the Strawberry Days royal court presents them to the city council on the first day of the celebration. It symbolizes a time of economic strength and endurance when strawberry fields covered this land. For the 623 residents who settled this land, it would be satisfying to know their tenacity now boasts a population exceeding 33,000 people living on the land they farmed. The legacy that rests on the success of a humble strawberry makes that victory over hardship truly sweet, indeed.

Growth the name of the Summerfest game Amie Rose SPECIAL TO THE HERALD

or many years, Orem Summerfest has signaled the start of summer for Orem residents with a celebration in City Center Park — which meant a packed park, lots of traffic in the area and people walking for blocks and blocks and blocks from the nearest available parking. This year that’s changing. “We’ve outgrown the park,” said Teresa Horn, Summerfest chairwoman. This year, Summerfest will be split between City Center Park, at 200 E. 100 North; Scera Park, at 600 S. State St.; and Orem High School, which is between the two parks, at 175 S. 400 East. “We have made it a little bit bigger, so we have moved to the Scera Park,” Horn said. “We added a business showcase that’s new this year.

Splash Days soaked in tradition J’Nel Wright SPECIAL TO THE HERALD

aratoga Springs is proof that if you build it, people will come. While the city itself is relatively new to the Wasatch Front — it was incorporated in 1997 and made into a city in 2001 — its grandfather, the 19th-century aquatic “Shangri-la of the West” known as Saratoga Springs, hosted generations of water enthusiasts until the early 1990s. In 1884, former farmer-turnedentrepreneur John Beck built Beck’s Saratoga Springs as a haven that welcomed families from all areas to soak in the natural hot-springs pools and enjoy a variety of amusement park activities. At the height of its success in the 1950s, Saratoga Springs boasted a Ferris wheel, a miniature train, a merry-go-round, airplane swings and a large slide for the pool, among other attractions. It has been

reported that at one point there were 35 rides, an arcade and a miniature golf course. The amusement park closed in 1993, and the hot springs are no longer accessible to the public. But the tradition of family fun and the area’s fascination with wild water activities continues. The natural wonder that established this area still flows freely as the Saratoga Splash Days celebration. Every year, residents pay homage to the hot springs that brought them together as a community with a parade, water activities, concerts and other family activities. Despite being one of the fastestgrowing cities in the nation, residents of Saratoga Springs bask in the small-town charm that first attracted waves of fans 132 years ago. These days, what started as a friendly neighborhood block party is now a huge week-long celebration. SARAH WEISER, Daily Herald

Art plays a key role in Springville history J’Nel Wright SPECIAL TO THE HERALD

t isn’t often that one sees the impact of a well-intentioned gesture evolve into an expanding city tradition. But that is precisely what happened in 1903 when the generosity of two renowned artists planted a seed that sprung into an art culture. Cyrus E. Dallin, best known for his sculpture of Paul Revere, and well-known impressionistic landscape artist John Hafen had concerns that art was getting sequestered to a dark corner in area schools. In an effort to ignite interest in their industry, both men decided to donate two of their works to Springville High School. In 1907, local Utah artists such as James T. Fairbanks, James T. Harwood and Mahonri M. Young furthered the cause by contributing works on their own to the high school. The kind donations of these men ingrained in the students of Springville High School an appreciation for creativity and artistic expression, which resulted in the student body generating funds to purchase art pieces to form a collection of their own. The most notable fundraiser was the “Art Queen” competition. Each student would pay one penny per vote. The girl with the most votes

was crowned Springville High School’s Art Queen, and the money was used to purchase artwork for the emerging museum. By 1937, Springville City played host to Utah’s first art museum, and the connection with art was secured. Utah’s “Art City” is home to The Springville Museum of Art, which houses a permanent collection spanning 150 years worth of local contemporary art, 20th century Soviet realist art and American art. Springville City is also proud to host the annual Art City Days that attracts thousands of art lovers and general lovers of fun to enjoy the carnival, fireworks, the grand parade, a 5K race, food of all shapes and flavors, and the uplifting (literally) BalloonFest, among many other events. This year’s Art City Days will begin June 4 and end June 11. As a city, Springville has come a long way from its humble beginnings as the Hobble Creek homestead for some of the area’s early settlers and their horses, but if one could paint a picture of a place that promotes positive cultural values, creative expression, and celebrates the artistic beauty of life — welcome to Springville.

Pony Express Days brings new meaning to ‘horse power’ J’Nel Wright SPECIAL TO THE HERALD

very year brings new twists on old traditions during the annual Pony Express Days. As we have watched this community evolve from its humble beginnings as a resting point for the Pony Express to a thriving area supporting an expanding population, the idea of horse power has changed along with it. On May 27, 28 and 30, Eagle Mountain invites fans young and old to whoop it up at the Pony Express Rodeo, a true Utah County favorite in these parts. Loaded with bucking broncos and raging bull riders, this rodeo series reminds us of a time when the horse was king and it had the speed to prove it. Speaking of speed, Eagle Mountain is especially excited to host the Pony Express Demolition Derby at 6 p.m. June 4. Early bird ticket prices are $15 for adults and $5 for children 11 and younger. This event is guaranteed to put the “horse” in your horsepower. For those unfamiliar with the purpose of a demolition derby (yes, there is a purpose), it may prove helpful to provide some basic rules and tips to better prepare you for your next demo derby Hayden Marble, 17, center, sends a text message to a friend from his perch on the thrashed hulk of his vehicle at the Pony Express Days Demolition Derby Friday, June 1, 2012, at the Eagle Mountain Pony Express Rodeo Grounds. Nearly 3,000 attendees packed into the sold-out venue to watch the familyfriendly destruction. JORDAN STEAD, Daily Herald

experience: 1. Head-on crashes or smashing the driver’s door is prohibited. That’s right. Nailing the driver’s side on purpose will get you disqualified on the spot. Most likely a driver will also get slapped by his mom for being unsportsmanlike. 2. After impact, the car has a limited amount of time to either start moving on its own or call it a day. Some liken a demolition derby to a boxing match when the downed fighter is staggering to his feet. Watching a driver try to coax the car back to life is a lesson on determination and an unfailing spirit. 3. Also, each car has a limited amount of time to crash into another car. No scared-y cats allowed. While avoiding contact is a clever way to qualify for the next round, you can’t just drive around the perimeter until time runs out. The derby is about impact — and a lot of it. 4. No glass allowed. You may notice the cars are lacking windows. While this may have come about due to a precelebration rally or an act of frustration created by the construction delays at the Point of the Mountain, in truth, it’s part of the rules of the derby. 5. Ear plugs are helpful. Many of these cars are lacking mufflers. There’s a reason why they are called mufflers, and you’ll figure out why when you

hear them roaring around the track. 6. Yes, the drivers are safe. While it may look like chaos, safety is always the top priority at this event. So, enjoy it! “Watching a demolition derby is like watching life at its most primal moment,” explained Eileen Walker, an avid demo derby fan. “You’re going against everything you know is right. “People are taught to drive safe and be polite and not cheer for car wrecks — things like that. At a demolition derby, all of that goes out the window. It’s a crazy experience.” And, it’s an experience that often sells out. While it may not be an ideal time to discuss driving techniques to your young driver, it is a fun way to spend a day with your entire family. “Pony Express Days is a great way for families to kick off their summer fun,” said Linda Peterson, communications and community relations director for Eagle Mountain. “We have a variety of events that are entertaining and budget-friendly. “If you haven’t ever visited Eagle Mountain, we invite you to participate in Pony Express Days and associate with our wonderful community.” For more information on the events schedule for Pony Express Days visit www.eaglemountaincity.org.
