2008 The Rocky Mountain Allreds plan a full day of fun, information sharing, history displays and presentations, opportunity to research, food and time to meet and greet cousins from across the country. For those arriving on Friday, June 27, there will be a gathering around the fire pit at the end of the school property in the evening. This is an opportunity to meet and greet, roast hot dogs and toast marshmallows. Registration begins Saturday at 8:30 a.m. and goes until 3 p.m. Registration is free, but we want to know who attends. Each family registering, will receive a packet of handouts with Allred materials. If you arrive early, you can view the various displays. The business/family meeting begins at 10 am. Norma Allred has developed a chart of the Rocky Mountain Allred early families. If you don’t know your line, Norma can assist you. LouAnn and Bob Blakely will again have photos of Eccles Parish in England. Entertainment is on the program. Children’s activities are also on the agenda. Allred representatives will be in both the cemeteries in Spring City to tell you about our early ancestors. The Old Pioneer Cemetery is in town and is located about three blocks from the Old School. The larger Spring City Cemetery is outside town. Between the two cemeteries there are approximately 450 Allreds buried in Spring City. The Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum on Main Street in Spring City has some Allred history information. It is open Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm. Lunch is available at 1 p.m. for $5 for adults and $3 for children. If you like, you can bring your own picnic. The Friends of Historic Spring City will open their building, the old fire house on Main Street from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Early Spring City documents and a few photographs are available for researchers. In the afternoon, there is a raffle, a bargain table with Allred T-shirts, Allred Crest stationery, the Children’s Genealogy-Getting-Started books, and other items.
