The youth will be selling right along side our regular vendors, and they have been working hard to get ready! Branden and Kyler Daugaard will be selling vinyl household decorations and a selection of leather bracelets and necklaces from other countries. Joe Jouffray will be selling plant starts for purple and cheddar cauliflower, as well as watermelon starts with a special story behind them. Alyssa Williams will be selling Hanging Tomato Plants as well as hand-sewn potato bags and jewelry. Later on in the month, we will have Sam Harris with fresh eggs, and look for Christopher Haaser, the juggling wonder on June 27. Lindsey and Emma will be there also with their homemade crafts. Once produce begins ripening, we will have Mason Peterson with an assortment of fruit and vegetables. Hannah and Wylie Watson will also have their booth with garden produce and homemade crafts. Add to the mix Dax Kelson, who will be on hand a little later on in the season when his strawberries, watermelon, and other produce ripen. Brooklyn Dove will join us later in the season when her raspberries and corn are ready. Plus, many more Mini Market vendors are on the way!

Volunteer & Make a Difference: Volunteers needed for 25th Military Family Retreat In early 2006 a chance meeting between Steve Roberts, managing partner at Wolf Creek Utah, and a chaplain from Hill Air Force Base resulted in a program that has served over 1,500 airmen and their families. Three or four times a year, families that have someone scheduled to deploy within 30 days are invited to Wolf Creek for a complimentary weekend that includes luxury second home accommodations, all meals, world class recreation opportunities, a structured program to help both parents and children deal with deployment issues and a dinner dance. This program has held Best Practice status within the Air Force since 2008 and several bases from around the U.S. are working to create something similar for their families. Your Opportunity to Make a Difference We are looking for volunteers to help serve at some of the meals during the next retreat taking place June 28-30, 2013. Your only commitment will be for one meal during that weekend. All of the meals are buffet style so a volunteer’s main responsibility will be serving occasional beverages, clearing tables and resetting for the next meal. We are looking for six to eight volunteers per meal. The real benefit of volunteering at this event will be interacting with the retreat participants. When you talk to these families you truly become aware of the sacrifice that the whole family makes for the freedom that we take for granted. We invite you to take the opportunity to thank these airmen and their families. To volunteer please call Sue Munson at 801-388-7596 or 801-745-9233. Huntsville July 4th Celebration: friends, fun, & fireworks! Snowbasin Resort to Open for Summer Food, family, It is not unusual to encounThe breakfast is simply amazing.

For them, visiting Utah and family is not the same without their tradition of coming to Huntsville for its fun and patriotic celebration of Independence Day. Whether it is the fun run, the famous pancake breakfast started by Kent Wangsgard over 20 years ago, the small-town parade, the excitement of the annual auction, or the incredible fireworks at the end of the day, tradition is a big part of a successful 4th of July in Huntsville. The Huntsville parade is only slightly outdone by the Rose Parade held in California each year. (At least that is the unbiased opinion of anyone who has seen or participated in the parade!) Families enter floats. We see cool hot rods carrying the mayor and town council. The fire department will soak anyone sitting in the “get wet” section of the parade. A Mormon Battalion brigade marches with participants of all sizes and even fires a canon frequently to the delight of all the parade-watchers. Expect candy thrown by parade participants now and then, too. One tradition is the auctioning off of a delightful 2 ft. by 3 ft. giclee print of a painting by renowned artist Steve Songer. It depicts a crowd of spectators watching the parade as it makes its way down the heart of Huntsville. There are only 25 prints commissioned for the auction, with one being auctioned off each year. They are numbered and signed by Steve. Such a painting is a real treasure and a work of art that will greatly appreciate over time. Do you need a car, a homemade wooden lamp, original artwork, tickets to the theater, restaurant certificates, or, a chord of wood for your fireplace? You can get it all at the Huntsville 4th of July auction. Look for flyers around the Valley advertising the auction items. Join in the fun. Get a bargain! This year will feature, again, an outstanding silent auction. cakes in the course of three hours? The answer is simple . . . the original organizational skills of a Kent Wangsgard utilized with the help of approximately 100 volunteers. Breakfast is from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m.; it’s a wonderful tradition for locals and others from all over the country. The patriotic program is a favorite for many. Our valley has a history of military duty and distinguished public service. Over the years we have heard from Senators, members of congress, local leaders, and, most recently, the winners of essay competitions. It is a celebration of liberty and recognition of those who have done so much for our country. Drama anyone? Don’t miss the melodrama put on each year by local thespians. If you like to cheer for the good guys and boo for the bad, come and join the fun! Of course, when actors forget a line or two, the hilarious adlibbing really makes up for the missing part. The park is full of rides, games, craft booths, and food of all sorts and variety during America’s birthday party. Do you like churros? How about Navajo tacos? Interested in homemade jewelry? The kids will really love the different rides and games, which they will remember for a long time. Finish off the day with dancing in the park with one of the coolest DJs and sound systems on the planet. Then, when it is dark enough, thrill at the sight and sounds of fireworks and music that will light up the sky and send you home in amazement! Tradition is important on Independence Day in Huntsville. However, the most important tradition of the town hosting this annual celebration so families and individuals can simply come and enjoy a wonderful day in the park while remembering the freedoms we enjoy in the greatest country in the entire world.
