Daughters of Utah Pioneers go to jubilee

Posted

In January and February, Mother Nature was not very kind. Winter storms caused camp meetings to be canceled and postponed. Camps made up these “snow days” by combining lessons or rescheduling later in the year.

On June 3, four members of Camp Courage traveled to Springville, Utah, to attend the Springville Art Museum in a combination camp meeting and camp jubilee.  

The trip was in conjunction with the January lesson “The Artistic Pioneer Heritage” about the art and early Utah artists who were sent on missions to Europe to study art so they could paint murals in the temples.  

During the travels to Springville, lesson leader Donna Ludvigson gave the lesson that prepared the women to see the paintings artists John Hafen, Lorus Pratt and John B. Fairbanks that the museum had on display.  

A young woman gave the group a tour of the Springville Art Museum pointing, out various paintings and art pieces along with interesting facts about some of the paintings and collections. 

The group enjoyed a very nice trip, and gained a wealth of new information.

Those attending were Marsha Hughes, Donna Ludvigson, Mary Ella Kennedy and prospective member Jolene Lingmann. Although the Evanston chapter of Daughters of Utah Pioneers have many more members, this day was a challenge for many to attend with so many activities going on in Evanston.
