MAYOR’S MESSAGE

Hello from Mayor Holt,

I would like to thank all who provide services to our community; Fire De-partment, Search & Rescue, Ambu-lance, Police, Public Works, Commit-tees and volunteers on the frontline and behind the scenes. I appreciate each and every one of you and the countless time and energy you pro-vide to our city.

Starting off this new year has been exciting, the staff and city council are wonderful to work with. They are still trying to figure me out though. I am excited and appreciate all who supported me in the election and look forward to growth and prosperity for Fillmore City.

Things have been busy in Fillmore, we have been traveling to meetings and getting updated and acquainted

with local government officials on many different topics. With these contacts, Fillmore City is looking and promoting all avenues for business opportunities. Among these contacts we are also looking at ways to fund different projects in the city for parks and recreation.

To continue our motivation into the future and provide customer service, the staff, councilmembers and myself are always ready to answer questions, concerns, and ideas you may have. I look forward to helping our commu-nity grow and celebrate the many events Fillmore City will be having this year.

Thank you Gene Larsen for your many years of community service including City Council and Mayor and your commitment and dedication to Fillmore City. We appreciate you!!!

Territorial Statehouse News

by Carl Aldrich

We had a great turnout for

our First Day hike around historic areas in Fillmore

and our annual Statehood Day dance in January, thank you to everyone who at-tended both of those programs. We have scheduled several Building Zion Youth Camps for this summer and continue to take calls almost daily. There are only a couple of weekends that do not have at least one group signed up.

The next big event from Friends of Terri-

torial Statehouse State Park and Museum (and sponsored by us): the Old Capitol Storytelling Festival. We have some big name storytellers coming for events around the county, including Emmy Award winner Ken Verdoia, the One Voice Children's Choir, Cherie Call and Lyndy Butler, Sam Payne, Clive Romney, and several others. There is also a weekly podcast, "Claim Your Territory," that will be ongoing. We are always looking for people with inter-esting stories to interview for this program!

One of the goals of the Old Capitol Story-

telling Festival is to create a hub of story-telling for the area that was the Utah Terri-tory--Utah, most of Nevada, around half of Colorado, and that corner that somehow ended up in Wyoming. But these are not just rehashed stories of Mormon pioneers (although they are certainly included). Just like the Territorial Statehouse is an ever-lasting physical symbol of the former Utah Territory, the territory's history continues on uninterrupted in spite of modern bor-ders. That is why we will welcome story-telling that reflects all time periods from prehistory to today and from a large geo-graphic area.

Fillmore's history is intertwined with the

entire region; our story cannot be told without Nevada or Colorado, nor can their histories be told without Fillmore. This festival will be a celebration of our shared history, culture, and heritage, regardless of where we live or where we came from. Public events will be held March 23rd in Delta, the 24th in Fillmore, and the 25th in Eskdale. In addition, a special exhibition of Donald Beuregard art will be shown in the Territorial Statehouse for that weekend only.

The schedule and ticket information is still

being finalized as of this writing, but will be available at: www.OldCapitolStoryFest.com or on Facebook: @OldCapitolStoryFest or @UtahStatehouse

SPRING CLEAN-UP

The annual spring clean-up will begin the first week of April. The City

be in each zone for a one week peri-

up additional piles. Piles placed after this time MUST BE REMOVED by

the property owner.

Please separate your debris into
