Spring City, Utah Annual Heritage Day
Saturday, May 23, 2009
When I was in sixth grade, I lived in Spring City, Utah. Our school was small so my class was combined with the fifth grade and our teacher was the principal. That winter was the time when I learned about sticking your tounge to a frozen flagpole. Luckily I didn't have to learn it directly. It was another kid who took the dare. I was little then, but I also remember the walls of our pioneer house were about 3 feet thick.
This weekend, and every Saturday before Memorial Day, the City of Spring City holds a historic homes tour. It's worth going. The entire town of Spring City is a historic district that has become a mecca for artists. This trend for artists moving to Spring City was started by Joe and Lee Bennion. They moved there the year I was in sixth grade. I am also happy to say that we continue to be friends.
Joe Bennion, Horseshoe Mountain Pottery
Joe has never locked his shop. You can walk in 24/7 and pay for the pottery in the metal box on the gate.
Lee Bennion, Painter
We are fortunate to have a painting for each of our children at the age of eight years old. Lee is currently working on N's portrait. M is next.

More stops on the Timpanogos Harley tour
Lots of bikes and the gear to make the lifestyle complete.
Windows from the retail shop present a view of the pristine repair shop. The bikes are lifted up for ease in repairing, but this also serves them up nicely for viewing.
Various custom manhole covers are spread about both inside and out.
Dopler Radar is available to help you plan the next leg of your ride. Although in Utah, the weather is pretty dry during the summer. Not a lot of chance for rain.
