Keith Rounkles’ kayak on wheels also drew lots of attention to the club’s parade entry. After the parade, club members joined the activities at the park, selling annual Ogden Canyon Club family memberships for $10.00, club logo Tshirts for $15.00 (we still have a few left), and soliciting donations for the Indian Trail, limestone kiln restoration, and the Huntsville Children’s Theatre projects. A “Thank you” to those who joined the club, or made donations. Also, thanks to the Huntsville Parade and Activities Committee for letting the limestone kiln, which was constructed in 1865. Cody Wright, a local stone mason; Rick Brown, instructor at the Applied Technology Center in Ogden; and volunteer help are currently rebuilding the kiln as close as possible to its original state, in order to maintain its status as a historical landmark. Donations from the Weber County Heritage Foundation, local businesses, and residents have helped to get this project underway. More donations are still needed to complete the project.
