Show The Garfield County Insider Page FYI PANGUITCH 14: Agiak Oetting E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.cos PRODUCERS AG MARKET NEWS — Tonight is opening night for the Quilt Walk Play. The Play is a bit of history of the first settlement of Far View or as it is called now Panguitch. There are some new cast members this year and a lot of new kids, which are in the dancing scene. Mike Savage (the heart of the play is back) and rehearsals have gone well. This is a dinner show and the cost is $15.00 for the show and some great food. So come on out and enjoy. Last night was the start of the Quilt Festival and led off with the Chocolate Fest. A lot of people showed up and treated themselves to many decadent types of treats, all made out of chocolate. The silent auction went well with all lot of gifts for Fathers day. The proceeds go to the Quilt Walk Statue park. The chocolate desserts, the silent auction items and the Porter Family entertainment were all donated and will help make the completion of the park possible. This year there is a one time addition to the Festival, on Saturday, the ribbon cutting ceremony for the National By-Way highway 143 ( Patchwork Parkway) will take place at Joes Market Parking lot at 5:00 pm. The winning team of the Quilt Walk race will take part in the ribbon cutting. Get your friends and form a team of 7 and you can be part of some history in Panguitch. The dedication of the Quilt Walk Statue will be POSTPONED, due to a delay in construction. Stan Johnson who has sculptured the statue has been working day and night to get it done. Pat and I got a sneak preview of the statue over in Parowan. The detail of this statue is unbelievable, it is beautiful and it looks just like me. Stan and his wife Polly have turned out a work of art that should be in the Smithsonian, it is that good. Making this statue starts with a life size clay model, which is taken apart and casts are made of the parts. The cast is then poured full of brass and then the parts are welded back together and you have a statue that weights over 1000 lbs. The quilts are made in this same way and are really unique, what talents the Johnson's have. Every detail from his hat down to the quilts he is standing on and throwing are something I have a hard time putting into words, you have got to come out and see for yourself. . Saturday is busy day at the festival, leading off with the Panguitch Lions Club breakfast at Zions Bank. The all you can eat breakfast starts at 7:30 am and runs to 10:00 am. At 10:00 am is the Heritage Fair, and it will be at the High School on the front lot, where the frontier village is. At the Heritage Fair there will be a PAWZ's petting zoo, heritage skills will be taught such as: making candles, butter, quilting, and many of the things you needed in the frontier days. This is a fun place for the kids, where they can learn that there wasn't always a Joes Market to buy these items in the old days. The Tractor Parade is at 2:00 pm. Bring your tractor and ladies wear your best hat. The Quilt Walk Race down Main St. following the parade. Quilts will be furnished for the race and is open for all ages, so all you seniors get up a team, do a little practicing and show the kids what it's all about. Also on this day as well as Thursday and Friday is the quilting classes, quilt show, and trunk show. The final showing of the Quilt Walk Play, for the year will begin at 7:00pm. If after all this you still have something left, you can come out to the Social Hall and help take it all down. Last week I forgot to report on the Main Street Yard Sale. It drew a very large crowd and a lot of good stuff was purchased. There were over 50 tables out on both sides of Main St. The Store owners loved it with many of the shoppers going into their Shops. The Main Street committee puts on this event on Memorial and Labor Days and it gets bigger every year. Also someone has purchased the old Gem Theater and is working very hard to refurbish the building and making it into an ice cream parlor / theater. I think this building has been vacant for at least 30 years and will be a great addition to the Town. Pat went to a lot of movies at the Gem, and we wish them all the luck in the world. About 10 years ago Daphne Green had a dream of a skateboard park here in Panguitch. Daphne had fund raisers, concerts and anything she could think of. Her son was 3 at the time and now he is 13, her dream has come true, I don't know if she is still involved and when I find out who is carlying on the torch I will put it in. It is coming about and the cement contract are being let out. I think it is going to be down at the old tennis court, at the fair grounds. The Panguitch Lions Club have donated $4,000 for this endeavor. Ken and Ren Construction are donating the cement work I understand. This will be a welcome place for the kids who are too big for the slides and looking for something fun to do. Well my career as a lunch lady is over. It is so much fun working with the kids, see you later Mr.Veater. I figured out that I helped pass out 8,000 meals and wash that many trays during the 5 months. I sort of took Carlita Riggs place, however Cindy Cooper really did that, and she came in early to bake and cook the food for both the Elementary School and High School. Carlita is coming back, part time and will be helping with the menus. I am so glad she is doing well, I didn't realize how strong you have to be, many of those pans weighted well over 50 lbs loaded with food. I did learn that know matter how good the food is some of the kids wouldn't even try it. Most of the food that Cindy made was excellent, the problem was more with the ready made food. What saddened me, was the little kids asking at 10:30 when lunch was ready. The school board cut the Federal funded breakfast program and many of the student only meal is lunch. The really bad thing is that the Federal breakfast program took care of a lot of the labor cost on the lunch program and this cost the district, big time. Our Elementary School was feeding on many of the mornings over 50 students. Danny Yardley ran a marathon, up north somewhere and had a 3 hour time which qualifies him for the Boston Marathon. Boston's race is so popular that you have to qualify for it and still they have 10,000 runners. This qualifying has been going on for 30 years. Danny's parents John and Pam will be home off their Mission in Idaho in about 3 weeks. They have been gone three years and it seems so much longer, they left a big hole. It was good that they were close enough that their families could visit and see their grandchildren. Keep up the good news. Mack 0. Receipts: 674; Last Week: 868. Last Year: 906.

Dear Garfield County Residents, As I have traveled throughout the county during this campaign process, I have found that it only reinforces what I already believe. There is no better place in the world to live than in Garfield County. I have been treated very well throughout the county, and have very much appreciated your input and your concerns. If I am elected your input and concerns will not be forgotten. We have many complicated issues in this county, and I assure you I am ready to meet that challenge.

More Wonderful Memories The passing of TV personality, Art Linkletter, brought back a number of memories from his show, "Kids Say The Darndest Things!" Two, in particular, are great for passing-on: He was squatting in front of the prettiest little girl and after commenting that she was pretty, asked her if she had ever been 'In-Love?' She thought about it for a moment and replied, 'No...but I've been in LIKE!! (His look, directed at the camera, was priceless! Another time he was chatting with a handsome young African-American boy about 7-8 yrs old. This kid had the biggest smile and the brightest teeth...Linkletter couldn't resist asking how many times (a day) he brushed his teeth? The boy responded with an even bigger smile. "Only Once... but I use Clorox!!" Again, Linkletter's look was priceless... Speaking of Memories... I was traveling on a So Ca freeway one afternoon (in the fast lane) when I heard a loud 'pop' and knew I had suffered a blown tire. Other drivers, behind me realized what had happened and I had no problem working my way to the side of the road, tho it took most of a mile to do so. Since my van was pretty level, I went to the back...removed the jack and nut wrench to lossen the lug nuts on the flat's wheel. Dropping the spare down brought a deep groan from me...it was FLAT! I stood there for a moment and then realized I would need help... so I set the flat upright at the back of the van and just sat there looking really...sad. Partially true in that I had just purchased an expensive set of chrome hub caps and, of course, the one from the blow-out was somewhere 'back there.' I actually waited for close to an hour...but the "MEMORY" worth telling is this: As I sat there I noticed something 'shiny' being blown along the side of the freeway...in my direction. I wondered if it would get to me before someone stopped to help...Slow but surely it would move when there was a particularly strong draft... usually from an 18 wheeler. Finally a really large gust picked it up and it rolled right up to my feet. IT WAS (HONEST), my 'lost' hubcap!! OK! Here's the one I rarely tell...mostly because even I would have a hard time believing it! In the 60's I had a partner in several small businesses and as a result we spent a lot of time together...often in one of our vehicles...In any event, he showed up one bright sunny morning with a pair of goofy (kids) sunglasses...All I could say was, 'You've got to be kidding!' Thru the day which included several meetings with clients, he continued to wear them even as we both noticed the glances of the people we were meeting with. By the end of the day and heading up the freeway out of Mission Valley (San Diego), I turned to him and implored that he get rid of them...without a word he looked at me, took them of and threw the out the window (he was in the passenger seat). "There...hope your satisfied,' he said. I just nodded my head in reply... Here's the Rest of the Story...several days later we were on the same freeway in the same location... just behind an 18 wheeler. All of a sudden a gust of wind threw something up onto the hood of my car...YUP! It was those sunglasses! They sat there for a moment...then began slowly sliding toward the windshield and then off over the top of the car. Tom and I looked at each other and agreed that no one would EVER believe it. Do YOU? Because it IS true.. so help me! RABBIT LADY We need your help! Marion Frandsen, better known as, "Rabbit Lady" and also Bill Frandsen's wife, is going blind.
