It's 1933 in Nephi, Utah.....so where we gonna party tonight?

In the early 1930's, there was no TV or even an 8-track, but people in rural Juab County were party mongers! Some could dance all night at the Nebona Gardens or these growed up adults would even dress up as kids and do crazy but fun stunts, and all without booze or drugs! The Juab Recreation Club(JRC) had a lot to do with it, and some of the chief backers were church attenders Mr. & Mrs. James H. Ockey; Nephi Mayor and Mrs. P.B. Cowan, and how about Sheriff and Mrs. Parley Christensen. The principal party palace was the North Ward Amusement Hall, but they also hit the indoor swimming pool at Arrowhead west of Payson; night hikes to Mt. Nebo; then Dad and Son's campground up the canyon; ice skating in the meadows, or a secret location until you got your hand delivered note. Here are a few of em. Work hard, then you can play hard!
