I’ve been doing some research on our house trying to find out some history on it, when things were added on and such.  I came across these two pictures that are fun.  The first is from 10 years ago in August of 2003.  The next doesn’t have an exact date, but from what I’ve been able to find, it’s a pre 1966 picture.  The house was built in 1953, so it was one of the few houses in the area for a long time.  Notice the farmland in the background of the picture.

We are continually surprised by our little town of Springville, this time by the World Folk Fest.  This is admittedly something that I would not normally attend, but Kathryn got a call from some of our friends in the ward inviting us to come.  We didn’t have any other plans so Kathryn told me we were going 🙂

 

I was surprised from the beginning when they brought out all of the performers on the stage during the introduction of the program.

The groups were from Chile, Martinique, Netherlands, Taiwan, and the USA.

There were the Native Americans doing a dance off.

And my favorite pictures, the long exposures when they turned off the lights.

These were the Native American hoop dancers doing the flying eagle.

They finished off the night with the polynesians hula dancers and then the FIRE KNIFES!  This guy was absolutely amazing how fast he could spin those knifes!

We’re constantly surprised by Springville and a big thanks to Slim and Aaron for inviting us to come!
