Vaguely aware that my grandmother, Nora Crompton with her husband, Robert, and their family had traveled to the first Peach Days all the way from Garland by wagon, I asked her if she could remember the balloon episode at a family reunion Monday.

She recounted - the disappointment when the experiment failed and then remembered the mountains of peaches and melons that were given away at the event. Peach Days in Brigham City is now an institution. Brigham City wouldnt be Brigham City without Peach Days.

In a letter to her mother Valeria Baird, 140 south, Second west, she told that a good share of a travelog on television in Los Angeles was on Peach Days in Brigham City.- The film showed the floats, the queens and the peaches.
