Commission weighs dates for Widowmaker commemoration, eyes late-September options

Draper Historic Preservation Commission · June 17, 2026

Summary

Members discussed possible dates, speaker coordination and county involvement for a proposed Widowmaker commemoration. The group proposed holding the event on one of the last two Saturdays in September and to finalize a date and budget at the August meeting.

Commissioners discussed plans for a Widowmaker commemoration and possible timing. Speaker 1 suggested selecting a weekend near the end of September to maximize attendance and vendor participation, and Chair (speaker 3) said the commission can seek a vote on dates and a preliminary budget at the August meeting after coordinating with county contacts and communications staff.

"What if we bracket up a week or possibly 2 weeks at the end of September? Call it whatever we say we think is the best day," speaker 1 said as commissioners discussed weather and logistics. The group also noted potential partners — including county speakers and local motorcycle groups — and identified a need to confirm whether city-supplied equipment and staffing (shade, tables, sanitation) would be available on candidate dates.
