Representative Watkins invites House to Price’s 100th anniversary and recounts local history
Summary
Representative Watkins invited colleagues to Price’s 100th anniversary celebration, recounted the town’s founding and civic developments, and announced a public event for April 9 at 2 p.m. in the Price City Peace Garden.
Representative Watkins used a brief personal‑privilege announcement during the March 4 session to invite members to Price’s 100th anniversary celebration and to outline a short history of the town.
Watkins said the city of Price was organized at a sitting of the Emery County Court on July 14, 1892, and recounted early civic milestones — election of the first town officers, establishment of a municipal lighting system and development of a city park and water supply. Watkins announced a public birthday event scheduled for April 9 at 2 p.m. in the Price City Peace Garden on Main Street, with the mayor and city council providing free ice cream and cake, and invited colleagues to attend.
The remarks were delivered as a friendly community invitation and historical note rather than as formal House business; the session returned to legislative procedure afterward.
