The Day Barn

Living in once a "small town" inspires people to keep hold of the small city values and culture as it grows. Draper has now grown into a larger city and in doing so a lot of the old town land marks and destiny points have either been torn down or relocated. The Day barn is subject to just that. Even though it's not an original landmark of the town, it holds and spreads value and virtue to the meaning of a small farm town.

Our efforts to save the barn are simply to preserve the history of the town with a building that served its purpose as a milking barn for several decades. Many of the original town members had the opportunity to spend alot of their lives working in this barn and on the farm, providing for their families and thousands of others. The Day name carries a big part of the history in Draper and we are proud to be a part of preserving the history of such a great city.

Over the holidays we placed Christmas lights on the barn to help generate interest and funding towards saving the barn. As you may have notice, the barn was spectacular!

In the spring we plan on relocating the barn adjacent to the Historical Smith Home just off of Pioneer by Draper Park to its final resting ground. The barn will serve the community in a variety of ways. Private and community events will be its main focus for entertainment and educational services.

2009 Minuteman 5k Utah National Guard Charitable Trust

Thanks to all involved. It was, once again, a huge success!! We couldn't have done it without all of your help! THANK YOU!

Ralph L. Wadsworth Costruction and Employees, Wayne Bowden, Dick Fail and Steve Babbel, Participates in the "Eastwood Elementary Vehicle Day".

Dear Wayne - It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday at the annual "Eastwood Elementary Vehicle Day". Dick and Steve were stellar representatives of the high caliber of RLW's employees. They not only gave the kids of Eastwood a clear and understandable description of their respective roles as equipment operators, they also tied their experience with the 3300 South bridge replacement to what we--neighbors, partners and stake-holders--observed from outside "the yellow line". On behalf of the parent volunteers of Eastwood Elementary, and mere individuals such as myself, who recognize and respect the tremendous effort, coordination and sheer force of will it requires to make projects like the 4500 South and 3300 South Bridge Replacement Projects the phenomenal success they are, we salute you and your team of dedicated professionals. It would be my pleasure to discuss RLW's position as a leader in the construction community and their role as meaningful contributors to the neighborhoods they, along with the Utah Department of Transportation, serve. With kindest regards, Paula Fox
