Glen Thompson - (saddlemaking) Glen Thompson was born and raised in Ogden where his uncle worked as a saddle maker for the well-known saddlery, J.G. Read and Brothers. After high school, he began a challenging apprenticeship at J.G. Read—one of the few Utah saddleries that dates from frontier times. In the 1950’s Glen opened his first custom saddle shop in the Riverdale area later moving to a shop in Huntsville, adjacent his home, where he works today. Over the years, he has built a wide range of specialty saddles including a uniquely designed saddle for paraplegic riders and a number of saddles for rodeo champion Shawn Davis. Although his work has been shipped all over the country, his efforts have also produced results at home. Three children and several apprentices are learning from him and helping preserve Utah’s saddle making tradition. sday, February 8 @ 7:00 p.m., Auditorium-Social Dance in the Mormon Gulf deployment aboard USS EISENHOWER (CVN 69) with CVW-17.

Miller - Utah’s social dance heritage dates back to the pioneer dayswhen immigrants danced outside between covered wagons by the light of campfires. Early Utahns’ love for music, dance, and for the spectacular beauty of their new homeland grew over the decades and blossomed in the early twentieth century with the construction of an astonishing number of open-air dance halls. Dance halls such as Dance Hall Rock, the Shady Dell, and the fabled Saltair are just a few names of the open-air dance halls where generations of Utahns met and fell in love to the accompaniment of music and starlight. This presentation, which includes recorded music and a slide show, reveals dances, music, settings, and people who kept that heritage alive. Craig R. Miller is a graduate of Florida State University. He moved west in 1980 and completed a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Utah. As a folklorist, he specializes in studies of cultural diversity in the American West.
