Show Page 4—THE HERALD. Provo, Utah Sunday, July 5. 1981 Attorney Recommends Freedom Festival Self-Sufficient By DAWN TRACY Herald Staff Writer The Freedom Festival's goals have changed,” says Duane E Hiatt, general chairman of the Fourth of July celebration. “A couple of years ago we changed the name of Provo Freedom Festival to Utah Freedom Festival at Provo. We have many talented people living in the valley—we believe the potential is here that the festival will become a regional or even a national holiday Hiatt says the festival took a giant step forward to make that goal a reality when the Freedom Festival Committee worked out an agreement with Osmond Entertainment and Tommy Walker to stage a fireworks and entertainment spectacular on July 4th Walker is well-known tor his fireworks displays at Disneyland and the Reagan inaugural These kinds of big names can attract national attention to our celebraticn. The Freedom Festival incorrated in January of 1972 The estival’s board of directors is made up of a president and eleven board members who are approved by Provo City. The board appoints a general chairman whoselects committee headsfor each event the Festival sponsors. Provo City makes small lead moneyloans and gives outright grants to the Festival but both the board and activity committees are seperate from the city. having the Osmonds stage a show for the festival outweighs the disadvantages—one of which is This year’s Freedom Festival board includes Jay Gleed president; Jean Breinhold. vice president; and members Carl Bacon, Myron Fulrath, Jay Lewis, Afton Graham, William Stacey, Ilamae Clark, Doug receive no percentage of Christensen, Monte Groesbeck Blaine Hail and Reig Ivins Hiatt feels the advantages of that the Freedom Festival will the Osmond/Walker sell-out performance “The Osmond family is prominent in the entertainment world,’’ says Hiatt, ‘and Tommy Florence Valgardson has served as secretary to the board since its incorporation Mrs. Valgardson says the festival's annual budget is about Nephi Earmarks Funds NEPHI— Since thecity received no public input on the proposed revenue sharing budget,officials decided to implement the proposal. Two public hearings were held on June 17 concerning the revenuesharing budgets for 1980-81 and 1981-1982. But no city residents attended either hearing and so at the council meeting held on July 1, city councilmen decided to implement the proposed budgets. According to plans madeby the council $50,000 will go to the garbage and landfill department for the purchaseof a new garbagetruck. $12,000 will be used by the street department for a vehicle replacement in that department, and $6,000 will go into the general fund. Monies alotted to the general fund will be spent as follows. $4,000 will be used for the new library shelving, $1,000 will be used for industrial park improvements,and $1,000 will be applied toward completion of the new city center At the second public hearing held June 17 the city had planned to reveal the revised revenue sharing budgetfor 1980-1981 City officials budgeted $54,000 from last year’s revenue sharing into the capital projects fund. That money was used on the newcity center. The actual amount of revenue sharing funds anticipated as being available for city use in 1981-1982 is $71,000.

The Rose Parade started at the turn of the century as a town horse race,” says Critchfield People began decorating their carriages for the event and it soon developed into an annual celebration.” Critchfield says the Rose Bow] football gamelaunched the Rose Paradeintoa national event.
