GRAND MARSHALS

Ralph & Janet Snelson

Ralph and Janet Snelson will serve as the grand marshals of the 2024 Art City Days Grand Parade. The parade will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 8.

The parade will begin at Buckley Avenue and 400 South and travel west down 400 South to Main Street. The parade will then turn north and make it way down Main Street to 200 North where the parade will end.

Ralph and Janet Snelson are life-long citizens of Springville. Ralph is 93 and Janet is 91. The population of Springville when they were born was about 4,000; it’s now close to 36,000. Most businesses then were located along Main Street in the city’s Plat A (400 North to 400 South and 400 East to 400 West).

Ralph’s father, Ralph, and his mother, Faye, owned and operated Snelson Photo Studio. This is where he learned the photography business and experimented with the new development: color photographs. Janet’s father owned Robertson’s feed store (later Robertson’s Marine) across the street from the photo studio.

Ralph and Janet attended Jefferson Elementary School, Springville Junior High School and Springville High School. Ralph attended Brigham Young University and earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in math and science education. Janet attended LDS Business College in Salt Lake City.

Although they knew each other, they didn’t pay any attention to each other. They became interested when Ralph returned from serving a church mission in Northern California. They were married in November of 1953. They have four children: Michael (Jackie), Richard (Christine), David (Laurie) and Doug (Gayla). They have 17 grandchildren and 38 great-grandchildren.

Ralph served for two years in the U.S. Army. He trained at Fort Ord, California, and was assigned duty in Korea. Janet served at home, caring for their first son,

Michael, who was only 9 months old. Ralph began his teaching career at Springville Junior High School in 1957. He taught science and math for two or three years, then just math for the rest of his 30-year career. In 1967, he received the Artist of Life award for “Distinguished Service and Outstanding Accomplishment in Teaching.” Janet worked at Springville Bank (now Central Bank) for 13 years.

Ralph and Janet established Snelson PhotoColor Lab in 1973. This business served the lab needs of professional photographers all over the state. Together, they received the Professional Photographers of America national award for “Meritorious Contributions to Professional Photography.”

When they retired, the business was turned over to their son, Michael, and Roger Rigby, who have continued to operate it as a service to anyone who needs any sort of digital imaging.

Ralph and Janet have a beautiful yard that has been featured in the Hidden Garden event and received the Hidden Garden award two different years. The yard has been used as the venue for wedding photos and other memorable events.

Ralph served as a temple worker in the Provo Utah Temple for four years and as a sealer for 12 years. When the Provo City Center Temple opened, he and Janet were called to serve there, Ralph as a sealer and Janet as sealing office receptionist, for six years.

RESIDENT ARTIST

Leslie Duke

Springville resident Leslie Duke has a deep love for color and texture as well as an enthusiasm for finding the intrinsic beauty in everyday subjects. With each painting, she strives to instill a profound sense of mood through the use of color and space.

Painting and drawing have always been part of Leslie’s identity. She was fortunate to have parents who saw her deep interest in art and paid for many art classes, including a formative weekly watercolor class by Harold “Pete” Peterson, a Salt Lake City artist and educator.

Duke went on to study Illustration at Brigham Young University and began her career as an illustrator in 2010, only to realize that her true passion was painting. After countless late nights, plenty of ugly paintings and a considerable amount of caffeine, she quit her day job and became a full-time painter.

Duke is particularly inspired by the masterful beauty of works by Sargent and Zorn, the evocative color fields of Rothko and the intriguing compositions of illustrator Lisbeth Zwerger.

Duke and her musician husband, Brandon Kitterman, have lived in Springville since 2013, adding two little boys, two wild dogs and one sassy cat to the mix. She loves binging on a good story, collecting trinkets, pretending to garden and enjoying time with her little family.

SPRINGVILLE CITIZEN OF THE YEAR

Dr. Harold Davis

Dr. Harold Davis has been named as the Springville Citizen of the Year for 2024 by the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce. He was honored during the chamber’s Awards & Installation Banquet in February.

Dr. Davis is quick to point out that he is only one of many people in Springville who are willing to step up and help make our community a better place.

After graduating from Washington State University Veterinary School, Dr. Davis moved his family to Springville in 1977 and opened his business, Mountain West Animal Hospital. He ran the hospital for 37 years before selling it to new owners (Doctor Isaac Bott and Melanie Bott), and he continues to work there one day a week.

He was named the Utah Veterinarian of the Year in 2000 and in 2015 received the Utah Veterinary Medical Association’s Lifetime Service Award.

In 1997, Springville City created the Parks Board with Dr. Davis as its first chair. With little funding and resources available, this Parks Board spent countless hours seeking land donations, evaluating ideas from other cities, working with contractors to have work done and coordinating hundreds of volunteers willing to help with park projects.

In July of 1997, more than 700 residents helped build a phase of Spring Creek Park under the direction of Dr.

Davis and others on the Parks Board. Other projects he was involved with include the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, the Hobble Creek Trail, a bike trail through the city and a long list of parks within Springville’s borders.

In 2012, he chaired a citizen recreation center committee, an effort that laid the groundwork for the eventual completion of the Clyde Recreation Center. Dr. Davis served on the Parks and Recreation Board for 17 years.

In July and August of 2010, he provided veterinary services on four islands in Indonesia with LDS Charities. In February of 2012, he traveled to the Dominican Republic to provide veterinary services with the World Vets organization. From August 2014 to July 2015, he taught Business English and Writing in Guangzhou, China, as part of the Brigham Young University China Teachers Program. The Chinese college students called him their “American Grandpa.”

He was named the Utah League of Cities and Towns Community Volunteer of the Year in 2000.

During the last two decades, Dr. Davis has participated in multiple emergency preparedness trainings, including in agroterrorism, hazardous materials and Springville City Citizen Emergency Response Team training.

Throughout his life he has been blessed to be able to serve in The Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, working and serving with many wonderful people. He served a mission in Germany from 1968 to 1970, a church service mission for five years at the BYU Family History Library and a full-time mission with his wife, Liz, in 2020-21 in the Provo Utah Mission. He currently enjoys serving in the Provo City Center temple. Harold and Liz have a blended family of 12 children, all of whom graduated from Springville High School. They are: Leslie Kawai; Andrew (Deirdre) Davis; Heidi (Danny) Pettingill; Sandra (Derrick) Fulton; Daniela (Conrad) Walsh; Jenny (Eric) Bain; Christy (Tom) Bateman; Eric (Briana) Hoffman; Amy (Ryan) Strong; Dan (Kristi) Hoffman; Julie Lee and Andrew Hoffman. Harold and Liz have 44 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson.

SPRINGVILLE BUSINESS OF THE YEAR

Nebo Credit Union

Nebo Credit Union has been named as the 2024 Business of the Year by the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce. The business was honored during the chamber’s Awards & Installation Banquet in February.

Nebo Credit Union’s roots are in education, and the business continues that tradition today with ongoing acts of service benefiting local students and educators.

Founded in 1956, Nebo Credit Union was created by a group of Nebo School District employees who pooled their money together to promote a thrifty lifestyle and make small loans available to members. For a time, a teacher at Spanish Fork High School assisted credit union members in his classroom after school hours.

Since then, the credit union has grown to include three branch offices located in Springville, Spanish Fork and Payson, and it serves residents throughout Utah County.

“We focus on the community at large, really. Providing service is really key to everything we do,” said Dale J. Phelps, president and CEO of Nebo Credit Union. “Every decision that we make, we  ask the question: how will this decision impact members? We try to lay that template over all of our operating decisions.”

Phelps said Nebo Credit Union’s core values include integrity, respect, honesty and friendliness, and the business tries to incorporate those values into everything it does.

“Those values are driven deep into what we’re trying to do,” Phelps said, who has worked for Nebo Credit Union since 1994.

One way Nebo Credit Union makes a huge impact on the local community is through the Warm the Soles program. Each November, the credit union raises money to purchase shoes for children in need in Nebo School District.

Teachers in schools throughout the

Dale Phelps, President & CEO of Nebo Credit Union

district determine needs and submit students’ shoe sizes (no names are shared) to their administration, which then shares the information with Nebo Credit Union. Credit union employees donate their time to purchase the needed shoes, which are turned over to the individual schools for wrapping and gifting to the children.

Credit union members are encouraged to donate to this program, and any funds needed above those donations are provided by Nebo Credit Union.

“This last year, we donated over 800 pairs of shoes in Nebo School District,” Phelps said. Since 2000, the first year Nebo Credit Union participated in the program, the business has provided more than 11,000 pairs of shoes to local students.

“It’s very rewarding because many of these kids have a pair of beaten up shoes and that’s all they’ve got,” Phelps said.

Nebo Credit Union also works with local schools to provide books free of charge to Nebo district teachers for use in their classrooms. More than 38,000 books have been donated through this effort.

“Teachers give so much of their personal money to their classrooms that a lot of them don’t ever get reimbursed for, so we try to help supplement that,” Phelps said.

Every spring, Nebo Credit Union awards five $1,000 scholarships to local high school students. Applications for the scholarships may be found at nebocreditunion.org.

Nebo Credit Union’s corporate office is located in Springville and the business has 42 employees. The credit union offers checking and savings accounts, CDs, loans (including consumer lending and home loans), credit and debit cards and online banking.

SPRING SALON

2024 marks 100 years of prestigious art exhibit

Springville City is celebrating an important milestone in its unique art history this year with the 100th anniversary of the Spring Salon art exhibit.

This year’s Spring Salon, a highly prestigious exhibition of works by Utah artists, is now on display at the Springville Museum of Art. It will remain on exhibit through July 6.

The first Spring Salon was held in 1922, and the exhibit has been held every year since then, excluding two years during World War II when fuel and other goods were rationed nationwide.

The salon is largely what led the community to build the Springville Museum of Art, and the salon itself grew out of desire for local students to learn about and obtain a love for art.

In 1903, local painter John Hafen and local sculptor Cyrus Dallin donated works to the students of Springville High School as the beginning of an art collection. In following years, students and community members solicited art donations or raised money to purchase art and add it to the growing collection.

At the time, highly competitive art exhibitions known as “salons” were being held in Europe. Utah artists would travel to Europe to study and enter these salons.

In 1922, Springville High School hosted its own salon and invited artists from all over the country to enter artworks. The salon continued annually and the exhibit was displayed in the high school hallways, with thousands of people attending each year.

The salon and the high school’s art collection eventually grew too large to be housed in the high school. As a result, the decision was made to build an art museum, and ground was broken in 1935 on land immediately west of Springville High School, which was then located at approximately 150 East 400 South. The Springville Museum of Art opened in 1937.

With the museum literally next door, SHS students remained highly involved in the salon. “It was really all the students and the faculty that were putting on these art shows,” said Emily Larsen,

Salon 100 Exhibit

Through June of 2025, in conjunction with the 100th Spring Salon, the Springville Museum of Art will host “Salon 100,” an exhibit of 100 works of art that were purchased from past Spring Salons and are now part of the museum’s permanent collection. An additional exhibition will show memorabilia and historical items from SHS and past salons.

director of the Springville Museum of Art. During the first 40 years of the Spring Salon, students were unpacking and hanging the art for the show.

Each year, SHS students would raise money to purchase works from the salon and add them to the art collection. “Art Queens” were chosen from the student body, and these girls were given the privilege of unveiling the new purchases.

The SHS Class of 1967 was the last to attend the old high school, and the Class of 1968 was the first class to graduate from a new high school constructed at 1205 E. 900 South. This move away from the art museum caused students to lose some of their connection to the museum and the art collection their predecessors helped bring together, Larsen said.

Vern Swanson became director of the Springville Museum of Art in 1980, and he faced the challenge of rekindling the magic of the Spring Salon.

“What Vern did, which I think was really brilliant, was he made the salon a Utah-only show,” Larsen said.

The salon is now a juried exhibition

open only to Utah artists. Approximately 1,000 works are submitted each year for consideration, with typically around 250 to 300 accepted to be part of the exhibition.

“It’s really known as one of the most esteemed art exhibitions in Utah and a place where artists really come to make a name for themselves and establish themselves as one of the best artists in Utah,” Larsen said.

After 100 years, the Spring Salon is still going strong. The question now is, what should happen next?

“We have this 100-year history of having this huge, big art show in Springville each April, and it’s still very important for Utah artists, and I think that will continue into the foreseeable future,” Larsen said. “We need to determine, what do we want to see for the next 100 years of the salon?”

At least one part of that answer should include increasing the involvement of local high school students in this tradition that former Red Devils helped create, Larsen said.

“I think the real magic of this museum is that it was started by high school students …. There’s very few museums that have a history like this,” Larsen said. “This museum really started because of the students. That’s why they grew the

collection and that’s why they built this (museum) building, and I think we really need to honor that, and I would like it to be a place where all the students feel a connection to it.”

As part of this year’s Spring Salon, the museum is re-establishing the tradition of allowing SHS students to select a piece from the exhibit for purchase and inclusion in the museum’s permanent collection.

This year’s Hometown Rodeo is pleased to welcome Wayne Wise of Dublin, Texas, as the rodeo announcer. Wise has been a rodeo announcer for 38 years, with his travels literally taking him from coast to coast and border to border. He has announced rodeos in the state of Alaska and in Paris, France!

Wise has a special place in his heart for rodeos in Utah. “Of all the places I’ve been in my career, I truly believe Utah has some of the most enthusiastic and vocal rodeo fans in the game,” he said. “Big rodeos, little rodeos and everything in between, Utah fans are legit.” Wise is also an accomplished saddle maker and leather artisan. You can see some of Wise’s craftsmanship at bullskullz.com.

The committee is also pleased to wel-

come “The Class Clown” Scot Allerdings from Wyoming. Allerdings grew up around the rodeo world, with his grandfather and father competing in rough stock and team roping during their times. Allerdings caught the rodeo bug, starting his rodeo career as a bullrider in 1994. He received his PRCA bullfighter card in 2003 and the rest is history.

Allerdings has taken his clown and barrelman act to several PRCA rodeos around the country. He strives to provide high-quality, high-energy, family-friendly entertainment. While not working rodeos, Allerdings works with the youth of America as a high school physical education teacher and wrestling official. He received the Wyoming High School Physical Education Teacher of the Year award in 2021. He is truly the “Class Clown.” You can see portions of Allerdings’ act at scotallerdings.com.

MEDALLION TREASURE HUNT

June 3-7

Springville residents will be challenged to become super sleuths and use clues to find a special hidden item as part of the Art City Days Medallion Treasure Hunt.

Each day from Monday, June 3, through Thursday, June 6, at 9 a.m., a single clue will be revealed at springville. org/art-city-days/medallion that will lead searchers to a special Springville medallion hidden somewhere in the community.

Each clue will be somewhat cryptic, so it will require deductive thinking to put each part together and find the medallion.

In past years, the medallion has been found out in the open, but it also has been found inside a public building. There will be a message on the medallion giving specific instructions to the person or group that finds it, which could result in them winning valuable prizes, including a $50 Amazon gift card and a gift basket full of Springville Swag.

After the four days of clues, a final clue may be released on Friday, June 7, at 9 a.m. if the medallion hasn’t been found by then.

School Spirit! chool

Only one person will know where the medallion is hidden, so peppering city employees with questions will do you no good. Be very specific in your search as you get closer to finding the medallion, but, most of all, have fun!

How well do you know Springville?

Those who think they’re familiar with every aspect of this community may have a chance of winning an Amazon gift card through the Art City Days Eye Spy Photo Contest.

Photos of 20 different locations or objects in Springville will be posted online at springville.org/art-citydays/eye-spy on Monday, June 3, at 9 a.m..

The catch is that only a very small portion of the location, object or sign will be shown. It’s then your job to figure out where each picture was taken and take a bigger picture of the location or object.

Rules and instructions are as follows:

• Only a very small portion of each location is shown, so figure out where the picture was taken and take a bigger photo of the entire location, object or sign.

• Submit a complete list of answers via email to artcitydays@springville.org or deliver it to Springville Recreation at 443 S. 200 East.

• Get your entry in quickly! The first individual or group that that gets the most correct answers will win a $50 Amazon gift card and a gift basket of

Springville Swag.

• In case of a tie, the person/group that submitted their entry first will be declared the winner.

The contest will run through June 8 or until a winner is declared. Visit springville.org/art-city-days for more information.

PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT

June 3-10

This contest will have you scrambling! A list of Springville people, attractions or locations will be posted at springville. org/art-city-days/photo-scavenger-hunt/ at 9 a.m. on Monday, June 3.

Then, take your team out and start getting photos with the people, places and things on the list. Once your team has earned at least 200 points, submit your photos to artcitydays@springville. org to be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card and Springville Swag.

Teams that get photos of everything on the list will earn two entries in the drawing. The photos must be submitted by 9 a.m. on Monday, June 10.

SPRINGVILLE PLAYHOUSE

Musical: “She Loves Me” • June 7-22

The Springville Playhouse, Springville’s community theater company, will present the musical “She Loves Me” beginning Friday, June 7, at 7:30 p.m. and continuing every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday through June 22.

The production will be performed on stage at Merit Preparatory Academy, 1440 W. Center, Springville. General admission tickets are $15 ($12 for students and senior citizens). “She Loves Me” is directed by Robinne Booth with musical direction by Analee Carpenter.

Set in a 1930s European perfumery, “She Loves Me” tells the story of shop clerks Amalia and Georg who, more often than not, don’t see eye to eye. After both respond to a “lonely hearts advertisement” in the newspaper, they live for the love letters they exchange, but the identity of their admirers remains

unknown. Join Amalia and Georg to discover the identity of their true loves as well as all the twists and turns along the way!

An intimate and touching show featuring music by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (“Fiddler on the Roof”) and book by Joe Masteroff (“Cabaret”), “She Loves Me” was nominated for five Tony Awards in 1964. The 1993 Broadway revival won the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical and the 1994 Critics Circle Award for Best Musical.

Considered by many to be the most charming musical ever written, “She Loves Me” is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old-world elegance. The Mikos Lazlos play “Parfuemerie,” on which it is based, has inspired many adaptations, including the beloved film “You’ve

Got Mail” starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.

The Springville Playhouse is the longest continuously operating community theater group in Utah, having been organized by a group of Springville citizens in 1947.

Rock with You - The Michael Jackson Tribute is the only 100% live Michael Jackson tribute in the world.

CARLO RILEY AS MICHAEL JACKSON “THE LOOKS/MOVES”

Carlo Riley began to emulate Michael Jackson at the age of 5, displaying an incredible natural ability to perform MJ’s signature moves. These days, Carlo has taken his love of Michael Jackson to the highest level. Carlo is the same height and has a similar physique — 5’10” and 125 pounds — as Michael Jackson and utilizes these attributes in conjunction with makeup, exact costume reproductions and the Michael Jackson attitude to create an exciting show like no other.

Riley’s Michael Jackson emulation transcends generations. He has the ability to replicate both younger and more recent Michael Jackson looks and is an unstoppable entertainer, a trait he shares with his idol.

Riley had the privilege of meeting Michael Jackson in person in March 2007 at the prestigious Thriller 25th anniversary party in Tokyo, Japan. Photos of the pair gained worldwide media attention with captions such as “Twins.”

Since MJ’s passing, Riley has also had the privilege of meeting several members of the Jackson family, including his

mother Katherine, his daughter Paris, all brothers of the Jackson 5, etc. Riley has also been fortunate enough to meet MJ’s longtime costume designer Dennis Bush, who designed all of MJ’s clothes for more than 20 years. He said that Riley was the best MJ he had ever seen and allowed him to try on Michael Jackson’s jackets, which were a perfect fit.

RASHAAD CARLTON AS MICHAEL JACKSON “THE VOICE”

Rashaad Carlton was born in Detroit, Michigan, to a family of singers and musicians. From an early age, Carlton fell in love with the music and voice of Michael Jackson. He spent years emulating Michael’s vocal stylings.

Carlton is now stunning audiences everywhere in Rock With You - The Michael Jackson Tribute as “The Voice.” There is no other Michael Jackson tribute artist in the world that comes as close to Michael’s passion and emotion. Carlton is the only MJ tribute artist to sing 100% live with the intensity and accuracy that Michael provided during his performances in the studio.

In 2012, Carlton was nominated for three awards (Best R&B Artist, Best Male Urban Soul Artist and the Rising Star “Verge” Award). Carlton won the award for Best Urban Soul Artist at the Sounds of Soul Music Awards, and, in 2015, was nominated and won the Best Male Artist of the Year award at the Taste of Soul Music Awards.
