With the help of Dean Lehwalder of Huntington, Janice and Percy Mounteer, also of Huntington, are hoping to make this festival, and future festivals, a fun and appropriate way for local amateur filmmakers to spend their time and express themselves, as well as a place where fans of independent film can come to see what is developing in the minds of local filmmakers. Submissions will be due to the Star Theatre by Sept. 30. After being submitted the films will be reviewed, and if deemed appropriate, added to the schedule of the festival. The organizers have created guidelines which must be followed for a film to be featured at the festival. The main guideline rests upon the film’s rating. The festival is meant to be a family friendly activity and therefore organizers ask that before submitting your film you go to MPAA.org and check that your film would receive no higher than a PG rating, with a preference for G-rated, therefore outlawing harsh language and explicit subject matter. It is preferred that the submissions are around 10 minutes or less, allowing those who attend the festival to see many different films. Lehwalder hopes to receive many different genres of film, from comedy, to drama, to action, to documentary, and everything in between. On the night of the festival the attendees will be asked to vote for their favorite local film. The three films with the most votes will be awarded first, second, and third places. First place will receive $100, second place will receive $50, and third place will receive $25. Mounteer hinted that ‘special additions’ would be given to winners as well. Anyone looking to be involved, whether as a sponsor, an attendee, or a filmmaker is encouraged to do so. The event is sure to be a fun time, so mark your calendars and get ready to have an experience like never before. For more information call the Star Theatre at 687-7827.

Many members sacrificed their time and shared their talents to help pay tribute to those who settled Castle Valley. With many of the same qualities that have been handed down through the generations, many women worked diligently together donating food and bringing hand made items for display each day of the pageant. The Daughter’s of the Utah Pioneers who supported these efforts would like to thank the Board of the Castle Valley Pageant: Ron Sanders, Montell Seely, Mark Justice, Reed Martin, Lee Jeffs and Ken Christiansen. They are grateful for their support and help at the Castle Valley Pageant. The Daughter’s of the Utah Pioneers would especially like to thank Mark Justice for making it possible to be involved with the pageant. Thanks to Reed and Dion Martin who were helping hands that made the DUP presence in the Pioneer Village so successful. The DUP also appreciate the Sheriff’s Posse for all the help with rides up and down the hill of the pageant site. It would have been impossible to manage without them.
