About Draper's South Mountain

We are working on finding more information on putting a Bluegrass festival together in September this year. We have contacted some musicians and we will be working on dates soon.

The newsletter will be coming out in the next few weeks and we are looking for contributors for future newsletters.

Our trail systems are starting to get some national recognition in Mountain Bike magazines, and on that subject we ask that people not to use the trails until they dry out in the coming months to keep them usable for the entire year.

The HOA Board is also looking for new members, so if anyone is interested feel free to contact me or any other board member.

News from the South Mountain HOA. After our first meeting since October several new where brought up.

• The association is still looking into putting on an event at the new Draper Ampiltheater possibly in August. We are looking into a bluegrass festival, thought there are still several details to iron out.
• Lights are needing replacement on several directional signs around South Mountain.
• Several trees have died and looking into replacing them after finding out how to get more success with them in those areas where we seem to be losing them.
• The last meeting minutes were also approved.
• Working on a new news letter to be coming out, which always brings in more new members to this voluntary HOA.

Some new things are happening around the South Mountain community. The new directional sign near the roundabout on Rambling Rd. and Mike Weir Dr. has been started. Foundation is in and starting to try and find power for the lights.

There has also been talked about a South Mountain HOA appreciation day for next summer or fall. We are now looking into different type of events to take place at the new Draper Amphitheater. Some ideas were tossed out, but this is just in the beginning stages of the process.
