Show Lindon celebrates country before rain ends fun By KALYN SECRETAN Lindon's "Little Bit of Country," celebration came to ahalt Saturday afternoon with the abrupt rainstorm, rain-storm, but participants returned at seven for the Arena events. About 250 took advantage of the dollar breakfast and enjoyed beginning begin-ning the day with family and friends for pancakes, eggs, ham, hash browns and juice. Grand Marshalls of the parade were President and Mrs. Donald Holdaway. His counselors, President Presi-dent and Mrs. Gary Worthington and President and Mrs. Nyle Harris, Har-ris, followed close behind. The eight wards contributed to the parade, each making a miniature mini-ature float with Primary children riding on it. This year, pets were included in the parade and they were judged before appearing, just a little change from the usual pet show. The Rodeo Royalty and Jr. Miss Royalty also participated in the parade. The crowd moved to the park following the parade where concessions conces-sions were sold and arcade games were enjoyed all day long. Each child received a helium balloon given by Lula the Clown. Richard Draper was the Speaker for the Flag Ceremony. Jan a Lyn Patch offered a Patriotic number. The Horse Show started about 10 a.m. and continued until events were rained out. Also, the Softball games were on going throughout the day. In the girls softball division, the Lindon third ward won with the Lindon fifth ward champions in the men's division. The women's and boys tournament tourna-ment were rained out, and play-off games were scheduled for Tuesday. Terry Larson won the Grand Prize of the day, A Charm Glow Gas Grill. Randy and Shelley Childs served as chairman of the event this year. Shelley reported a highlight high-light of the day was the Blue Grass Entertainment at noon with the Jim Shupe family. The music was enjoyed by all as well as the free watermelon. The Lions Club sold hamburgers hamburg-ers and hot dogs so families could stay and have lunch in the park.
