Pine Valley wants to invite you to come and enjoy a day of cooler temperatures and great fun and entertainment at the 2015 Pine Valley Heritage Day events from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 25, at the Pine Valley Heritage Center. Heritage Day celebrates the founding of this beautiful community surrounded by tree-covered mountain peaks that provide a respite from the blazing desert temperatures in the lower elevation communities.
The 2015 Pine Valley Heritage Day events kick off at 10 a.m. with local singer Sarah Walther followed by the popular singing duo Harvest Home and some old-time pickin’ by Keith Behunin. Wagon rides will be offered every 30 minutes, including two sixty-minute historic tours beginning at 11:30 a.m. and 1: 30 p.m. Forest Service personnel will demonstrate the use of bow saws and other historic tools along with pack mule demonstrations at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., and St. George Live characters Jacob Hamblin and Orson Pratt will provide story telling at 12:30 and 2 p.m.
In addition to these scheduled events, artisans will be on hand to display authentic spinning, weaving, tatting, quilting, rug making, and candle-dipping. Food vendors will provide quality summertime burgers, hot dogs, drinks and authentic Indian Tacos, and community public safety personnel will display fire-fighting equipment and provide important safety and information safety tips and information.
The 2015 Pine Valley Heritage Day events should provide a good opportunity for families to escape the heat and have a little fun. The Pine Valley Heritage Center is located at 100 E. Main, just east of the Pine Valley chapel on the way to the Pine Valley Recreation area.
