Taylorsville residents packed the Taylorsville-Bennion Heritage Center for a lively Fall Festival filled with pumpkins, pie eating and family fun. The event, hosted by the Historic Preservation Committee, featured a pumpkin patch, autumn games, musical performances and the “Down on the Farm” quilt show. 

Mayor Kristie Overson praised the committee for its work in bringing the community together. “Our Fall Festival captures everything we love about Taylorsville,” she said. “It is warm, welcoming and full of hometown charm. I am grateful to the Historic Preservation Committee for creating such a wonderful day.” 

A major highlight of the Oct. 11 event was the ribbon cutting for the new Spencer-Webster Learning Center. The interactive space showcases hands-on displays that share the story of how Taylorsville began. 

Historic Preservation Committee Chair Susan Yadeskie said the addition will strengthen the center’s mission. “We are thrilled to open this new learning area,” she said. “It helps preserve our history in a way that invites everyone to explore it.”
