While up above them, children swarmed the tricky bars, slide, climbing, running and jumping place. A little further east children were running and jumping and throwing footballs with their parents and siblings. There was a father playing play-ing with a burp rag to make a baby laugh, teenage girls calling out, "Cotton candy and kettle corn," and here and there members of Utah Valley Val-ley Skyline Chorus handing out invites to the next night's pre-fireworks concert. And, of course, lines of people dishing dish-ing up food from Culinary Creations, mashed potatoes, pulled pork, beef brisket and hamburgers and onions, and cookies, lots of cookies. In the background was an imposing inverted V on Box Elder Peak and further in the background, snow on the mountain at the end of June. Everyone was enjoying the last of the sunlight, waiting for the movie "How To Train Your Dragon" to begin. The night before, the city council considered whether to buy a projector and outdoor movie screen for $25,000, which would last about 10 years or rent for about $2,500 each time. They decided not to buy. It was a scene full of energy ener-gy and happy sounds. A quick count of one area showed about 100, with two or three other areas having about the same number and more showing show-ing up as dark fell. Movie goers sat on blankets, chairs and the grass to enjoy a good old outdoor movie that wasfiinfor the whole family.. Photo courtesy of Harlow Clark |
