By Gloria Albrecht - | May 25, 2022

Horseshoe Mountain Pottery is one of the many arts and crafts stands to be found at Spring City Heritage Day, May 28, 2022. Joe Bennion wood fires his pottery and sells it in his historic building on Spring City’s Main Street. Lee Bennion, Joe’s wife, is a resident artist in Spring City. The Bennions have made Spring City their home for decades.
