July’s Event: This year the 24th event was moved from the city park to the “new” city center (the old elementary school building). The set up for the early morning breakfast began at 6:00 a.m. with Larry LeBaron, Steve Stout, Floyd Wilkinson and David Hinton setting up tables, chairs, stoves, griddles, plates utensils, 
cups etc. It was interesting trying to get the two burner stoves to heat up the entire steel griddles we had. They would heat up the ends of the griddle, but the middle would be barely warm enough to cook the pancakes slowly. Things started out slowly, with people coming for breakfast several minutes before we were ready, but they were kind and waited patiently for the first pancakes to come off the 
griddle. Breakfast included Blueberry Pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage and milk or orange juice. It was felt that milk would be the best
liquid, but we found that the orange juice was the most popular. After expenses, it appears that we will clear just over $300.00. Our thanks to those who helped set-up, prepare and clean-up, and for those who came to support us.
August’s Event:
September’s Event:
Join us on the 3rd and 4th of September as we help celebrate Peach Days. We have sold home made root beer for the past several years, and have become an integral part of the celebration. Many have dropped by our booth to say we are the biggest reason they came. It will be a time for meeting many of our old friends 
we have not seen for a while, and a time to aid the SUP in obtaining extra funds for our essays and scholarship programs. The Board works very hard all year to provide exciting, entertaining and educational programs for you. This is your time to help us in return. If you could donate 2 hours during this time, would you please call DeVon Armstrong @ 635-3955. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Along with the booth, you may be interested in the plaque we, with the help of the Heritage Foundation, will be putting in at the Bradshaw home. The wording is below. The unveiling will take place just after the parade at about 10:30 a.m.
October’s Event: The National Encampment or Convention will be held October 21-23, in St. George this year. It is an exciting time. Hurricane held this event several years ago, and we know of the difficulty in planning and pulling off a great convention. We encourage each of you to register to come to the National Convention. Our chapter is helping the Cotton Mission by doing two bus tours. There has been a lot done to make this a wonderful event. You can learn all about the agenda for the convention by going to www.sonsofutahpioneers.org. This will take you to the National Website. Look for National Convention, and click on that link.
November’s Event:
We just want to prepare you! This will be a rip roaring evening as we reminisce about the older days of this community when there were but two wards, the North and the South. It will be an event you will not wish to miss. Floyd Wilkinson will be presenting this evening. If you have stories, or timelines about this time in Hurricane, contact Floyd and give him extra material to use. You can reach him at 635-2237.
