Coming up this week
in DIXON-FAIRBANKS
There’s a place in Payson’s heart at the junction of faith and industry, a place called Dixon-Fairbanks.
"The Fairbanks House"
The oldest timber-frame house in North America, the Fairbanks House Museum at 511 East Street, Dedham, Massachusetts, pictured here, courtesy of Paysonian-to-the-core Coralee Wilson and family. Cora, who has restored and resides in another historic home, a Dixon family mansion on North Payson Main, toured the c1637 Fairbanks ancestral home site on a New England trip earlier this year.

The Payson Lions Club’s charter was signed in the Roaring 1920s. This historical event brought today’s den to the task of party planning for a one hundredth birthday party in March 2024. Be it small or grand, Payson Lions intend to celebrate the milestone with the organization's overarching theme. Helping others.
Payson Lions gathered November 9 for an early Thanksgiving dinner at Doug and Sandy Huff’s Spring Lake home. Sandy prepared a superb meal using ingredients generously purchased and donated by longtime Lions, Junior and Shirley Kester of Genola.
The main course was topped off with dessert: Frosted bakery donuts and Sandy's homemade pumpkin delight that officially dethroned the standard pie of that fruit for Thanksgiving eating.
The autumn gathering’s main discussion centered on Lionism's humanitarian heart. Guest speakers were Kena Mathews, Housing Director for Community Action Services & Food Bank, and Heather Houge with United Way. These compassionate ladies spoke about efforts underway to prevent the deaths of unsheltered people as temperatures dip ever lower in the cold months ahead.
Volunteer shifts at Utah County warming stations and donations of blankets were requested.
A reference was noted for those interested to log onto justserve.org for further details and sign-ups for volunteer shifts at warming stations from December through March 31.
Details on the Payson Lions Club’s efforts to help with this important need are expected to unfold soon.
Along with plans for a 100th birthday celebration.

Necessity failed to quell William Thomas Cravens' creative pursuits. Hard labor was tempered with arts and recreation for the Paysonian, his neighbors, and kin who found financial survival buried in the mines out west.
