Onion Days Grand Marshal an Essential Part of Payson's Culture and Performing Arts Scene

Engineer by trade and essential part of the local arts scene by passion, Richard Lindsey will join in the Onion Days Parade on Labor Day morning as Grand Marshal.

The Payson Chronicle caught up with Mr. Lindsey yesterday morning to find out more about his long list of contributions to the community as we prepare for our upcoming Onion Days Edition.  A behind-the-scenes kind of guy, we found him at work on his biggest project of late: The restoration of the old Huish Theatre into a magnificent and thriving cultural arts and education center to rival no other in south Utah County. Mr. Lindsey was named project leader following passing of its founders, the late Dr. Gordon and Karen Taylor.

Along with an experienced committee and volunteer team, the task of the Huish Center's completion is in good hands with the 2016 Onion Days Grand Marshal at the helm. Find out more about the talented Mr. Lindsey and the Huish Performing Arts and Cultural Education Center in next week’s edition.
