Every ward is comprised of people from all walks of life, lawyers, bakers, candle stick makers, farm boys, city dwellers and many lazy people who like to sleep until 7 . rL A what they are mumbling, but one catches snatches such as: Cucumbers, bah, humbug! Early morning air makes me sick. This hour is not fit for man nor beast! I hope no one speaks to me! I dont like being spoken to before 8 a.m. One fellow, with wild eyes and heavy mud on his shoes, said: It is raining and these people are still picking cucumbers. Madness! Oh, well, I better join them or the bishop will find me another job. . Another disgruntled fellow entered the patch with a scowl on his face. Suddenly, his whole countenance lit up and with a broad smile he said: I cant pick cucumbers today, I forgot my bucket. Jim Aurich, over-al- l chairman of the entire event and a well prepared man, slipped an extra bucket into his hand saying: Dont thank me, brother, I am more than happy to be of service. Yes, this fund raising project is a huge financial success. The project has also brought ward members closer together and has been a good experience for everyone involved.

Attempts to beat the gas crunch have become a way of life for Utah vacationers this year and Cherry Hill Camping in Kaysville, Utah has drawn quite a crowd this summer because of this. ' In the spring ot 1976, Lloyd began building an 18 hole miniature golf course to compliment residents that come anywhere from two miles away to as far south as St. ' George, Utah. When we first opened the camp in 1967 we very seldom saw any campers with Utah license plates. Now they account for about a third of our business on weekends. I i cant help but think the economy and gas situation : has something to do with this Increase, said Lloyd. During the gas shortage of 1974, Lloyd said hfp business wws effected quite a bit. It was the first year we had a drop in business since we opened In 1967. I began thinking the only solution to future gas shortages was to his existing facilities of a snack bar, pool, gift shop and game room. The course is open to the public now after 28 months of work and $100,000 expense. Owner, Grant Lloyd said more and more of his guests at Cherry Hill are Utah Its now a common site to see church groups, family reunions and neighborhood groups come and enjoy both the camping and also the facilities. One guy told me there arent any decent shows anymore and its cheaper to take the family to Cheiry Hill overnight than it is to a move. said Lloyd. The Gerald Jacobs family from Layton, Utah said some friends told them about Cherry Hill last year. " v !; "Our kids enjoyed 1 J1 " It so much that we went back this year again. Why go somewhere else when you-v- e got someplace nice right next door to you? Mrs. Jacobs said. The Ken Wynn family from Bountiful, Utah were told about Cherry Hill from some friends who hawve their family reunion each year at the camp. The first time we went the kids were embarrassed because people would ask us where we were from and wed have to say from Bountiful which is right down the road. Since then weve been back four or five times. This way we can save gas and still camp out, To 17 year old Tahna Randall of Bountiful, being able to camp at Cherry Hill gives her a chance to get away from the phones. She and her family have been camping at Cherry Hill for the past five summers. Another unique feature of the campground is the fact that the camping spots are nestled in amongst over 500 cherry trees. Lloyd said he has stopped trying to harvest the cherries but just lets the campers have all they can eat. Mrs. Mike Packard of Sandy, Utah husband said her thought the free cherries were the best part of staying at Cherry Hill. commented Mrs. Wynn. Upon the recommendation a friend, the Fred Hill family of Roy, Utah spent a weekend at Cherry Hill with several other families. Being able to be close to home yet feel like they were really on vacation were the reas they gave for their stay. of Ravens can be taught to speak a few words. |
