The Festival of Trees is Coming. THE FESTIVAL OF TREES IS COMING. THE FESTIVAL OF TREES IS COMING!!

But, we can only hold the event if we can get YOU to register to decorate a tree. C'mon, you know you told yourself last year that you were going to do it. You have that perfect idea. You know that you OWN decorating a tree!! Prove it!

Registration forms and guidelines are attached. Just fill out the form and turn it in. -----I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU!!!

This cooler weather is a reminder of the upcoming holidays. One of the events to celebrate this year is the 5th Annual Festival of Trees and Wreaths. This event has grown each year--thanks to your support. To continue sponsoring this event, the Springville Preservation Society needs participants to sign up to decorate a tree and/or a wreath. This year, we'll be offering a prize drawing for those who register by October 16, 2026. A drawing for a $50 prize will be held for those who register by that date.

You've either attended this event or heard of it. It's already become a tradition for our community and the surrounding area. Invite your neighbors, your family, your church to attend this Holiday kick-off.

Perhaps you can recall a favorite tree from the previous 4 events. We've had trees with themes related to scripture, community groups, businesses, churches, friend groups, nostalgia items, sports, and in-memorial to loved ones.

My favorite thing to see each year is the look on the faces of all the children as they walk around the trees and look at the wreaths.

PLEASE help us continue to hold this event by registering and also by attending.

The Springville Preservation will be ramping up activities in the coming months. So many events, so many memories, so many volunteers needed. Here is the August 2026 Preservation Society Newsletter. Be sure to take a look at what Carol Pearson Waid has compiled in this month's newsletter.

The July, 2026, Springville Preservation Society Newsletter. This months newsletter, prepared by Carol Pearson Waid is patriotic to say the least. The Preservation Society and the Heritage Center are doing their part to help with the 250th Anniversary of our Nation. The celebration continues through the rest of this year. Summer is a great time to get involved with the Preservation Society and/or the Heritage Center. That is our, "down time," to recoup and prepare for the busy fall and winter events. As evident in this July Newsletter, our, "downtime," is still pretty busy. We'd love for you to join us. The Society meets the last Thursday of the month (tomorrow evening) at 7:00 pm in the old Presbyterian Church, Blake Hall Annex. The meetings usually last about an hour and we get a lot accomplished in that period of time. Please, come sit in on a meeting and see what's going on--you might just want to join us.

Have you noticed the transformation of the cottage across the street from the Middle School on Main Street? Do you know why the front porch railings are so low. How about the low placement of the front door k**b? It was a House fitted out for a Broadway Star who became and educational star for all those who were lucky enough to have her for a teacher. This house is the birthplace of Miss Margaret Byers. The diminutive star of Broadway who came home to live and teach in Springville. There is going to be a 250th Anniversary of our Nation event featuring a special Brunch honoring the life of, 'Miss Margaret." Thankfully we have many items associated with Miss Margaret and her life as well as her family home. During the Brunch, you will learn about the importance of exploring your own family history while learning about the Revolutionary War Heroes Miss Margaret had in her own family. Perhaps there are Revolutionary War Soldiers in your family tree. What better time to find out than during the celebration of our 250th year as a nation.

Seating for this event is very limited so be sure to get your tickets ($25) NOW. A special treat for those attending will be a visit to the Byers Home at the conclusion of the Brunch.

Contact the Preservation Society, The Heritage Center, or Tami Tucker Spires to find out how you can get to ticket that will take you, "From Broadway to Blackboard."

OK, here's your chance--actually several chances. Things are beginning to ramp up for the Springville Preservation Society. We've got the Annual Fashion Show and Luncheon, April Walking Tours of downtown Springville, The Heritage Center is beginning, "Your Own Family History," classes, From Broadway to Blackboard (Miss Margaret Byers Brunch) including a tour of her recently renovated and refreshed birthplace, and the kickoff for our community as we celebrate the 250th Birthday of our Nation.

Thanks to everyone who supported the recent Preservation Society Yard Sale. Your support and the hard work done by Debera, Paige, Arnold and all the others who helped with this event helped raise funds for our ongoing preservation and educational work.

There always seems to be something being planned, being held, or being dreamed of by the Springville Preservation Society. The group continues to grow and we appreciate all the help and support we can get. It takes quite a bit of work and fundraising to continue to maintain the five historic Springville Structures under our care and to help families learn more about their own family histories.

Please take a few minutes to read over this month's preservation newsletter, as prepared by Carol Pearson Waid. We hope to see you tonight, Thursday, April 26, at 7:00 at the monthly meeting which will be held at the historic Springville Presbyterian Church. You are invited to come sit in on a meeting and see what is in the works.
