Lehi's Round-Up was bigger and better this year according to its organizers.

"What we really need is a bigger Wines Park with more parking," said Councilman Stephen Holbrook during a Tuesday council discussion on Round-Up.

"It was packed," said city administrator Jamie Davidson.

Organizers are already making plans for next year.

Holbrook said they talked about running Round-Up for two weeks instead of one, and he "quickly put a quash to that."

Round-up organizaers are considering running a second night of outdoor movies.

"It was very successful," Holbrook said about the week events. "I would only like to thank everyone who participated in Round-Up Days."

Councilman Johnny Barnes made his 16th parade trip in eight years last week.

"It's the greatest celebration in America," said Johnny Barnes during the Grand Parade. "The atmosphere, feeling of family and pride in community."

He said he was very pleased with the professionalism of the staff, the employees and the volunteers during Round-Up.

Councilman Mark Johnson wore a Lehi Police Department hat for the Grand Parade and a Lehi Fire Department hat for the Miniature Float Parade. "It's to show support for those who risk so much for us," he said.

The week-long event began with tragedy when Captain Harold Terry pulled Kelly Wark over for a traffic stop and was shot twice in the head. Three backup officers returned fire and Wark died from bullet wounds.

It ended with a triumph of spirit and community cohesiveness as exemplified by the Lehi Football Team boys who pushed the Little Miss Lindon float to the parade finish on Saturday after the girls' float vehicle broke down.

"I think it's marvelous," said Mayor Howard Johnson of Round-Up as he drove his golf cart in the parade.
