Spring City is a pioneer town and Memorial Day is the highlight of the year. The little town is bustling with visitors and cars, but not so busy that the horse drawn wagons rides get in the way. People don't picnic in the cemetery these days. The town hosts a turkey BBQ dinner at the high school. Funds go to a renovation fund for the old rock school building. We went through the old school because they had an art show and auction going on. It was also a stop for the wagon rides, and the place to buy your home show tickets. Spring City is becoming a flourishing artist community. It's not so far from Provo, and there are professors that retire or have summer homes there. Many have bought the original pioneer homes and renovated them. Each year they have about 15 homes that are open to the public. Along the way you can view a lot of art, buy pottery, woven rugs, or fresh rhubarb punch. It was a beautiful day and the town is so small you can walk everywhere. We checked out root cellars, workshops, gardens, studios, the cinema, and the rhubarb pie. It was all great!
