Max Thomas, senior vice president, First Security Bank of Utah, N.A., said that reser-ations reser-ations are coming in at a steady pace, but there are still plenty of seats remaining. Plans call for buses to originate at five different Utah locations -Cedar City, Logan.Spanish Fork, Vernal Ver-nal and Monticello. Buses will meet inSalt Lake City the morning morn-ing of February 27 and then will proceed in caravan fashion to Elko for the first overnight stop. This type of tour was started some 20 years ago by First Security. "We felt that in order to compete successfully, the farmers and ranchers of our area had to learn first-hand about new improved methods of operation being employed in other parts of the country," Mr. Thomas noted. 'Every tour we have taken has proved very successful and many of the people signed up for this year's tour are repeat customers. I firmly believe the tour we have planned this year will be the best of all," he said. |
