Our first Herriman Days. It wasn't very large, but what it lacked in size it more than made up for in community. This is a very nice, close little community and we really like it that way. We met and talked with many people and felt like we were a part of something.
Herriman Days also offered a musical artist that I took quite an interest in. My wife has talked about one of her fellow classmates from Bella Vista High School in California, country singer Kevin Sharp. It just so happened that he offered to come and sing as the closing act. Now lest you think this has to be even further down on the totem pole than state fairs, it should be noted that one of his closest friends lives in town and helped arrange it.
Of course, I couldn't let this go without some fun. So I e-mailed Kevin's manager and asked about the opportunity for Alicia to spend a few minutes with Kevin. This worked out very well and Kevin sent me an e-mail to help me facilitate the meeting. You can imagine the anticipation I had for that evening. But it went even better than expected. Sure Alicia loved being able to talk to Kevin for a few minutes, but even better, many of her friends from high school had relocated to not only Utah, but Herriman and Riverton (near Herriman). I don't think I have seen her this animated and excited. It was a good night.
