It is rumored that "Lehi Days" are this weekend and a few of you have asked for more details. However, I have been unable to track down any information about this event. So I'm turning it over to iheartmesa readers. What details do you have on Lehi Days?
Now for those of you confused, I consider Lehi the section of Mesa that is "down the hill" or the most northern part of Mesa. It is an area of Mesa that is rich in farmland and history. To celebrate, every year there are Lehi Days. And like many people, I've heard of this event for many years now, but don't have any details because I myself do not live in Lehi. So I leave it up to you. Hopefully we have some Lehi dwellers in our midst who can bail us out. I don't even have a cool picture to post here to show you the beauties of Lehi - so please let us know what you know.
