Chapter Members Bring History to School Kids at Annual Cotton Days Festival — Cotton Mission Chapter of Sons of Utah Pioneers

Welcome!

As Sons of Utah Pioneers we truly stand on the shoulders of others who have built communities before us. A most successful 2023 year in our chapter saw us hosting the National Encampment convention. We volunteered service hours then attended the rededication of the St. George Temple as part of that noteworthy event. In 2024 we will focus on the word “Dedication” in memory of the first pioneers who settled this valley with faith, hope and sacrifice.

We invite you to join us as we rededicate to be pioneers in our time and build the next generation of pioneers to honor our heritage.

Roy Taylor,
2024 Chapter President

Once again our Cotton Mission Chapter display at the annual Washington Cotton Days was a big hit with area school kids. Busload after busload unloaded while SUP and DUP members shared pioneer stories and let the kids examine pioneer implements. They learned how pioneers used a horsehair rope to ward off snakes at night, what a flour sifter is for, and even got to pull a handcart. Thanks to Dean Terry for bringing his antique wagon collection. It was the first time some of the kids had seen a stage coach. Some thought it was a fire engine! Our gratitude to chairman Robin Davis and the many volunteers who donated time to share our pioneer legacy with a new generation.
