These honorees have done things like serve years as justice of the peace, work on the Lehi Beautification Committee, help with Old Folks events, put up fantastic Christmas light displays for the public, give decades of service within the Lehi Fire Dept., serve as chaplain for the Police Dept., work on the Historical Preservation Committee, coach decades of youth sports, read to and start up programs for children at the library, create a mascot for Lehi Elementary and institute the Main Street Halloween Parade enjoyed today.

“Their efforts, which I’m sure at the time did not feel heroic, are without a doubt a great part of Lehi’s history today,” said Bangerter. “Their efforts are absolutely worthy of celebration, and celebrate we will!”

Honorees will be highlighted in a Showcase Parade, Honoree Celebration and Meet-and-Greet at Lehi Heritage Day 2022, on Sept. 5, from 2:30-7 p.m. The culminating event for the honorees will be when each couple receives its own brick in the Walk of Fame Garden in front of the Legacy Center at 123 N. Center. The garden is full of bricks representing those who have made a tremendous impact on the quality of life in Lehi.

Lehi Heritage Day is put on by the Lehi Historical Society and Archives and sponsored by Lehi City. The public is encouraged to attend the free event to learn about Lehi’s history and show support for the honorees. This year’s theme is “100 Years of Beautiful Lehi Homes.” The day goes as follows:
