Cox said starting the third week in August means a conflict with Education Week, a consideration in the past. Board members noted there are weeks in the year seven three-da- y and they think that is too many, however Cox pointed out that most of these holidays are "established by Congress" and can't be changed. Christmas and New Years also affects this, he said. Gappmeyer added he didn't think cutting out some of the three day weeks would change the calendar much. The calendar was passed by a four vote with board member Blake Evans voting against. ladies clubs and civic organizations were no longer in existence. Much good came from this organization and more people than we could thank in this article spent many hours of labor in making Lehi the kind of community that we enjoy today. To these people we give thanks and hope we can carry on in the example they have set. (The preceding information was gathered from many of the people mentioned in this article. Thank-yo- u for your time and information.) The committee welcomes all pictures, additional information and personal accounts of past events and memorabilia in preparation for the forthcoming Round-u- p June 25, 26 and 27.

At this time the Coordinating Council stepped in and organized floats from the ladies clubs, the various civic clubs and the businesses to carry on the parade. They also operated the concession stands and used the funds earned there for worthwhile projects. A carnival was staged in Wines Park during rodeo week, with kiddie rides, a bake sale and other fund raising activities. Much of the money raised from these carnivals and the concession stands was put toward the Hutchings finishing Museum, which was dedicated in 1965 and is a great asset to this community. In the 1960's Dr. Kent Davis, Lehi dentist and m ember of the Coordinating Council, was asked to be parade chairman. With the help of Ila Fowler and many others, he served for 17 years. Under his direction the wards began to return floats to the parade again and the larger queen floats from neighboring towns were invited to be a part of the parade and celebration. The miniature parade soon became one of the best known parades in Utah County. In the late 1960's the Coordinating Council was disbanded because the members were incorporated into other civic committees and many of Topfield Janet, 1981 World Champion Morgan Park Saddle Horse will be one highlight of Morgan Stallion presentation in Cedar Valley Saturday. Glitter spotlights horse show The Second Annual Whitequest Open Houses and Mogan Stallion Presentation, will be held Saturday, April 25. Last year's show was memorable for the exhibitors and the audience. The horses were presented with all the hoopla, lighting and glamour of stars at a Broadway premier. Even the handlers were formally attired in tuxedos, top hats, and tails. This year there will once again be the glitter and the spotlights, the music and, of course, the beautiful Morgan horses. Approximately 20 horses will be exhibited, with a special appearance by Sultan's Golden Age, an Amerian saddlebred stallion from Colorado. There will also be an appearance by Topfield Janet, the 1981 World Champion Morgan Park Saddle Horse with her two embryo transfer babies, a filly and a colt, with their surrogate mothers. The presentation will be held at Whitequest Morgans in Cedar Valley, Utah, which is about 12 miles southwest of Lehi on Highway 73. Once again a searchlight will be used to mark the location. The show is in an indoor arena, which insures that the show will take place, rain or shine, the public is cordially invited. The social hour begins at 7 p.m. There will also be Morgan videos and farm displays. The presentation begins at 8 p.m. The presentation is free to the public.
