This is the third year I have been the City Council Adviser to the City Celebration Committee , aka Steel Days Committee, which is made up of of several volunteers, of which I am amazed at their collective talents and time they put in for our citizens. The 2006 celebration is set for July 6-15. A schedule of Steel Days activities may be viewed at the city's website. The following welcomes us to the festivities:
A Message from Mark Strickland, Steel Days Committee Chair:
On behalf of the Steel Days Committee, let me welcome you to this 2006 celebration. This is a time when we as a community have the opportunity to take pause and celebrate our heritage and quality of life.
Our events this year provide activities for all ages and interests. Our much commended Picnic in the Park will return in an expanded form along with numerous recreational and cultural activities. Browse through the schedule and you will notice all of our traditional activities and programs returning once again: The Big Show with the Little River Band and J. Marc Bailey, fireworks to follow, Steel Days parade, golf and horseshoe tournament, 5K run, Art Show, Car Show and Cruise and American Fork Symphony performance to name a few.
As you join together with your family, friends and neighbors in fun and fellowship, take a minute to extend a word of appreciation to the many volunteers who make this all possible. These volunteers begin working together planning the next celebration almost as soon as the last fireworks wink at the spectators.
Come join the fun and festivities! For one day or the whole week and a half, make a lasting memory with your family and community at our Steel Days celebration.
As far as the name of the City Celebration, check out an earlier Steel Days Name posting. As of now, the Council is content with the Steel Days name, unless a compelling alternative name is suggested that can somehow capture the attention of the community. How about Cave Days? Prozac Days? MicroChip Days? or Celery Days (There was a time that AF produced the state's largest celery crop).
