PASSPORT TO SUMMER 18
Santaquin Recreation and local businesses are teaming up to offer the Passport to Summer, a booklet with a list of fun activities for youth. Parents and families take a picture of youth doing the activities, then take the picture and the passport to the sponsoring business to collect their stamp. Passports can be picked up on Wednesday, May 22, at the Santaquin City Offices, the Santaquin Library or the Santaquin Recreation building. Passport to Summer is open to all youth and participation is free (some passport activities may require you to purchase a ticket or pay a fee). An End of Summer Passport Party will be held Aug. 11 at the Payson Community Pool for participants.
