Celebration of the Mormon pioneers arriving in the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847 has long been recognized by our citizens. Weston was settled in 1865, also by LDS pioneers, and this heritage has been commemorated for over a century now. Although, it has been modernized and additional activities have been added since then, much has also remained the same. You'll still find families, friends, and neighbors gathering to enjoy a parade, food, games, and remembering those who came before us. Don't miss this yearly highlight!

Parade
A giant pile of sawdust will be laden with treasure. The kids will be divided into age groups and the hunt will be on! The youngest will be able to find novelty toys and small surprises and there will be $300 in change, donated by Alta Bank, waiting for the rest.
Saw Dust Hunt
This traditional activity is tied to our agricultural roots and is probably as old as the celebration, itself. This year we will have rabbits, chickens, and the greased pig chase. Even the adults can get in on the fun!
Animal Chases
The candy will be falling from the sky and plenty of kids will be waiting to scramble onto the baseball diamond to claim as much as possible. Always a hit and a crowd favorite!
Airplane Candy Drop
We're bringing it back! Compete for your chance to climb to the top of our greased pole to reach the grand prize (money).
Signups will happen the day of the celebration.
Greased Pole
That famous annual Old West Shoot Out with the Patriot Gunslingers will happen at Woodward's Country Store. Get your posse together for a taste of the wild west, gunslingers, saloons, and gunfights. All ages will surely enjoy this spectacular show.
