Mayor Kenneth McMillan gave an inspiring talk to open the day following the early morning flag ceremony. "Community spirit" was in abundance as Lindon residents turned out for the fun filled day. The parade and fun run were held in the morning with other events following the parade at the park. The mayor and councilmen were pleased at the progress made at the community park this past year. Poles for field lighting are in place and provide an excellent place for night ballgames. Six of the new picnic tables were in place for "Fair Day." Various families donated $100 ior a cement pad and table. Eighteen are planned and six are now in place. Plaques will be placed with donor names on the tables. A sprinkling system is being installed on the hill and the hillside development will be ready next spring. Families had a good time viewing the flower and vegetable displays.
