Organizers preview Pioneer Day events, ask for volunteers and council help with lunch service
Summary
Volunteers and event leaders outlined plans for a multi-day Pioneer Day celebration including a parade, free community lunches, a fun run, music, and family events; organizers asked councilmembers to help serve lunch and requested volunteers.
Organizers of Spring City’s annual Pioneer Day presented an overview of multi-day events to the council and asked for volunteer help from elected officials.
Cynthia, the event chairperson, told the council the celebration will include a program of historical stories (Sawbones Spring City), family night at the park with free barbecue lunch, a movie licensed through community donations, a children’s baking contest, a street dance and a “chop festival.” The celebration will conclude with an Old Time Gospel music revival on Sunday, and the community band Legacy will provide lunchtime music during Saturday events.
Cynthia said the city budget covers nearly all event costs and that the movie licensing fee has been funded by Centercom and Utah Heritage Credit Union. She asked councilmembers to help serve the free community lunch and to publicize volunteer opportunities; she said volunteers are needed to set up, serve and clean up.
Mayor and council members thanked the organizers and acknowledged Cynthia’s long service as event chair; Cynthia said this will be her last large event in that role and urged the council to keep the celebration “a big fun family celebration.”
Why it matters: The multi-day community event uses city resources and volunteer labor and draws large local participation; organizers asked for council involvement to ensure a smooth, free community lunch.
