With Orchard Days mere weeks away, we return once again to scenes from Santaquin celebrations past. These black and white photographs were taken some time in the mid-1980s, back when the annual summer fest was known as Cherry Days. The images have been stored in The Payson Chronicle’s files ever since their publication in the local newspaper decades ago.
Pictured, along with some of the original newspaper captions, are (beginning with the top row, left-right, then bottom row, left-right):
Some of the miniature parade award winners at Santaquin’s Cherry Days last week: Travis Martinez and Cam Steel on bikes, Christina Cruz, Melanie Ogden, and Joseph Cruz with wagon.
Miss Santaquin Royalty
Santaquin City Council in the Santaquin City Parade: Art Adcock, Mayor Sandra Peterson, Clara Goudy, Grant Pay, and Dan Olson.
The Coombs boys won the award as most creative in the miniature parade, then appeared in the Santaquin Cherry Days Mammoth Parade Saturday.
