Mayor’s Message

I am excited to welcome you

to another Steel Days celebration! I encourage everyone to participate. I can personally attest that Steel Days is what brings our community together and is where memories are made.

I remember as a young child being excited when the carnival came to town for Steel Days.

Cell phones weren’t needed with the network of kid spies we had. As soon as the first kid saw the carnival trucks pulling in, every kid in the neighborhood knew within the hour and was at Robinson Park to watch them set up. With excitement I watched parts of the carnival being set up over the three days leading up to Steel Days. First the Ferris wheel, then the myriad of spinning rides, then the booths and food stations. As a kid that was one of the only times I could get cotton candy and a corn dog. These memories were salient for me as it marked the start of one of the best weeks of the year: Steel Days. Even still, the sounds, lights, and smells at the carnival take me back to when I was a kid.

I also remember as a kid going into my parent’s backyard, and even later as an adult with my own family, to enjoy a barbeque and Steel Days fireworks. As our family grew, and as Steel Days grew as well, we moved to what would become the Big Show at Art Dye. Even today, we gather there to lay out blankets, eat food, and we enjoy music and fireworks. When I see the thousands of people at Art Dye watching the fireworks, I have to smile because I know from personal experience that there are probably thousands more in backyards across the city also enjoying the fireworks with their friends For my family, Steel Days means tradition, and family. family time, and community. We plan our personal activities around Steel Days As a father and grandfather, I enjoy watching because we enjoy it so much. I invite you all similar excitement and memories being to enjoy Steel Days this year. Create your own formed within my own kids and grandkids. memories while enjoying all that Steel Days has We have had four generations of my family to offer. attending various events. It’s at those events we laugh over old memories while creating new ones.

Mayor Brad Frost

History of Steel Days This year, we celebrate 77 years since the first Steel Day celebration! For over 100 years the city of American Fork has gathered together to celebrate its history, achievements, business community, and residents.

This annual celebration is now known as Steel Days, but throughout the years the festivities have also been called Timber Day, Liberty Day, and Poultry Day. TIMBER DAY Timber Day was an all-day picnic with music, entertainment, and games. It began around 1865 and was held in a grove of trees known as “The Timbers.” Families brought food prepared especially for the occasion, laid it out, and shared it with others. There were activities for young and old, with a horseshoe competition, foot races, and ball games.

Timber Day was observed until approximately 1904.

carnival, and a program and dance. Mary Pulley was the first Poultry Day Queen. During the banquet, a server spilled a pot of hot chocolate in Mary’s lap. She simply wiped it up and went on with the day.

The Sunrise Salute, or firing the cannon, continued at daybreak. There was a free lunch with 10,000 chicken sandwiches served.

There was a flower show, art show, and an allday movie showing at the Cameo Theater.

There were no celebrations held during the years of the Depression. Poultry Day was held in July 1941, but with the attack on Pearl Harbor in December, all American Fork celebrations were eliminated during the war, with the exception of a small neighborhood party in 1944.

LIBERTY DAY Liberty Day had no set date but alternated between July 4 and July 24 to mark the nation’s birth date along with the residents’ pioneer heritage. The picnic in the park continued in Central Park, which is now known as Robinson Park. There was an organized parade with decorated flatbed horse-drawn wagons. When automobiles were introduced, they were decorated and driven from one end of Main Street to the other. Until 1910, the city’s roads were dirt and gravel, increasing the challenges of such travels.

STEEL DAYS Since 1945, Steel Days has been American Fork’s traditional celebration. Then-mayor O. De Vere Wootton decided Poultry Day no longer reflected the city’s economy.

The newly constructed Columbia Steel Mill brought many newcomers, who made an impact on housing, utilities, traffic, and commerce. The mill became the largest employer in Utah Valley. Two individuals suggested “Steel Day” after a request for ideas for a name for the celebration. Steel Day was selected and was celebrated on Labor Day.

There was usually a theme chosen for each year’s celebration. In 1925, it honored the various states of the United States. There was a baseball game, dance, and fireworks. The tradition of shooting off a cannon from the cemetery hill early in the morning marked the start of the day’s events.

In 1946, Steel Day was a full day of events, similar to Poultry Day. The American Fork Chamber of Commerce was also established that year and was involved in the planning of the Steel Day events. The parade featured numerous floats decorated for and by local businesses. Bands came from Tooele, Salt Lake City, Nephi, Payson, Lehi, Pleasant Grove, and Provo. The parade was presented twice for many years - at 10:00 a.m. from 500 West Main Street to 500 East, and then at 6:00 p.m. when the route was reversed.

POULTRY DAY In July 1927, Poultry Day began with a modest celebration. It was expanded in 1928 with a town banquet instead of the previous picnic.

There was also a parade, ball game, races,

77th ANNUAL celebration

In 1963, the city used a smaller approach, calling it “Community Day.” It included a pet and hobby show and a short evening program with fireworks. Despite its success, there was no celebration in 1964 or 1965. Civic clubs apparently did not want to take over managing the celebration. There were, however, abbreviated queen pageants held.

In 1966, a new committee was formed, and it was again a larger celebration that was now held in July. They also resumed using the Steel Days name. In the late 1960s, the American Fork Boat Harbor was developed and boat racing was added to the list of events. In 1968, the “City of Fun” Carnival made its Steel Days debut.

The festivities remained mostly the same for the next several decades, with several of the events being part of the festivities every year and others being added or eliminated. In 2003, events marking the city’s 150th birthday were incorporated into the celebration, even though they were held earlier in the summer.

The duration of Steel Days expanded from one day to three days, then four and five days, and eventually to ten days. This year, because Independence Day is on a Monday, Steel Days runs for five days and includes over 30 events.

In 2018, the American Fork Chamber of Commerce again became an integral part of the Steel Days celebration when it contracted with American Fork City to manage and operate Steel Days, a role that it has been proud to fulfill since. The events of 2020 brought incredible hardship and turmoil to many local businesses and residents. We were the first and one of the only cities in Utah to hold our city celebration amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are excited this year to continue our traditional Steel Days schedule and line-up of events. We have had an incredible amount of support from the city, the residents, and the businesses. Whether this has been a family tradition for several years or you’ve never attended, you are invited to come and enjoy all of the fun that Steel Days has to offer and make some memories of your own.

Miss American Fork 76th Annual Miss American Fork Pageant

Saturday, June 25 American Fork Junior High

“It is difficult to summarize a year of growth

, but as I reflect on my year as Miss American Fork, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and admiration for this city. This year, I have been so humbled by the efforts our community has made to come together and forge connections with each other as our city has begun healing in the aftermath of a pandemic. Participating in Steel Days, Storytime at the library, town halls, and symphony concerts among other events has shown me the power and unity that can stem from active, involved communities.

“I am proud to call American Fork my community. As the saying goes, “It takes a village”. As an American Fork native, many of you are part of the village that supported and led me to where I am today. I am grateful for you and truly am honored to have been given this opportunity to serve and represent you.”

The state law makes it illegal for districts to charge students in kindergarten through eighth grade for use of books, according to district officials who presented the policy to the board. hasn't Although the district charged for textbooks in kindergarten through sixth grade in the past, there has been a $10 book fee for seventh and eighth graders, Gary Keetch, district secondary

In some areas fees have significantly been cut back, Keetch said.

For instance, the new policy limits the amount of money students can be charged for extracurricular activities, for lab fees, class changes, etc.

Cheerleaders, for example, are now limited to a maximum of $300 for uniforms and supplies, where in the past there has been no limit.

By SHARON MORREY Fewer than 600 voters turned out to decide the bond question on a July 15 ballot for American Fork City, and approved by an almost 2 to 1 margin bonding for water and building improvements that total $665,000.

Ballots cast showed 548 voters of American Fork's 6,402 registered voters, 8.5 percent, came to the polls Tuesday. to the unofficial According returns, 63 percent, or 346, voted in favor of bonding to $300,000 for building improvements at the City Hall and Public Safety Building.

Voters cast 200 ballots against the bond proposition.

Sixty-seve- n percent, 360 voters, favored bonding for water improvements: a new larger line to the east area of town, providing better fire protection to the American Fork Hospital area and a line from 1400 North to 200 East to 700 North completing a loop in the system and recovering pressure overall. There were 176 who voted against the water bonding, $365,000.

Mayor R. Kent Evans said he was gratified at the turnout and at the

confidence he feels the voters showed in the adminstration of the city.

"It helps," he said, "Of course., we hoped for a larger turnout but this is a good representation of the city and we appreciate the support.

"We will be prudent," promises the mayor. "We are aware that people are concerned about costs, particularly with the two recent

increases in city services. Those were not due to any city needs, however, but simply the cost of doing business in those areas."

The mayor anticipates bids will be let for both projects, water and buildings, in the very near future.

City council members will canvass the votes in their July 23 meeting to determine the official election results.

Voting district mix-u- p creates confusion at polls An error in the maps showing voter district consolidation for the bond election, sent voters from District 19 to the wrong voting area and may have affected the voter turnout somewhat.

Many voters found they had to travel to the Barratt Elementary School instead of the American Fork Junior High School. Most live just a few blocks from the Junior High School and were unhappy to find they had to travel some distance to vote.

It is our goal to make the parade as entertaining and enjoyable as possible. In order to do so, we need to make safety our highest priority. Please stay out of the road since many floats and parade vehicles have limited lines of sight. Everyone loves seeing excited children collecting candy and prizes and we want to continue this tradition. Please help us to do this by not allowing children to run into the road to collect candy. Parade participants have been instructed to distribute candy near the sides of the road ​ s the parade concludes, please take pride in our community and keep it clean by collecting A trash that is around you or that you see and depositing it into the trash receptacles that will be placed along the parade route. Please remember Steel Days and the Grand Parade are meant to bring the community together and celebrate our great city.

No more imagining a cleaner, greener future it is happening right NOW, right HERE in American Fork This year’s Steel Days celebration is being powered in part by a clean, green, renewable power source – the FIRST city festival that is taking steps toward delivering a zero-carbon footprint!

All of the food trucks and exhibitors at the Steel Days Fair will have the opportunity to be powered by the FIRST EVER large-scale solar power generator on wheels – the Mobile Energy Command – Solar (MEC-S). This renewable power system has already been tested in critical situations, providing power to emergency responders and in the desert. Now we are bringing it out to generate some extra FUN and SMILES at our Steel Days celebration.

Message from the Co-Chairs

As the 2022 Steel Days Committee

Co-chairs, we would like to express our appreciation to the many people who make the Steel Days celebration possible.

Thank you to the volunteers who have put in countless hours and willingly shared their talents, the city of American Fork for their unfailing support and cooperation, and the sponsors for their generous financial contributions. Our city celebration could not be successful without their dedication or the time, effort, and resources given by all of them to serve the community and provide a chance for all of us to connect and celebrate. We ask all of the residents and visitors to please be sure to thank those who have worked so hard to put on another fun-filled celebration for the city this year. Their service enables us to honor and enjoy the traditions established throughout the history of Steel Days, and we are excited to be able to celebrate the 77th anniversary of this beloved American Fork tradition. We invite everyone to come and participate, have fun, and make memories at all of the many events during the Steel Days celebration.
