Everyone knows when the daytime temperature in St. George reaches 110+ degrees it’s time to either head north or to Pine Valley! Escaping to Pine Valley has been a longstanding tradition since pioneer families discovered the lush green valley had daytime temperatures in June, July and August 20+ degrees cooler than in St. George!
The tradition continued on Friday, July 17, 2009, when 128 members of the Bloomington 7th Ward escaped the 113 degree summer sun for a few hours of rest and relaxation, socializing, wading in the cool mountain stream, good food, good music and good friends.
The weather was perfect and the potluck dinner included bar-be-que beef and drinks provided by the ward with members rounding out the menu with their favorite salad,
dessert or other side dish. There was a money scramble for the kids provided by the Primary and face painting provided by members of the Young Womens program. Entertainment was provided by Phil Tuckett who performed gospel music, including pioneer hymns on his autoharp.
Special thanks to the Ward Activities Committee including Doug and Janet Labrum as co-chairs who were assisted in the planning and presentation by Rebecca Ward, Jerry and Lorraine Erskine, Tom and Barbara Pinder, Adolf and Taj Becker and Allen and Sherry Scott. According to Janet Labrum, “everyone seemed to have a good time!”
