Founders’ Day Event
The SUP and DUP had a delightful celebration of the founding of our great Provo city on Wednesday, April 1st. Our program featured prominent Utah historian Robert Carter, speaking on “The Sons and Daughters of Utah Pioneers Encourage a History Revival in Provo,” which offered a unique look into why these landmarks were established and their historical significance to our community.
Also on the program was the SUP 4th grade Essay Contest winner and our musical guests, WireWood, treated us all to some knee-slappin’ fiddlin’ for a real good time!
Both the Village and DUP Museum offered activities and demonstrations for your enjoyment!
