Thanks for this nice article, and to the Huntsmans for being so caring of the older folks. My mother attended last year at the age of 101. Unfortunately, she died in October. What a wonderful life she lived.

Centenarians and their families who attended the celebration will certainly enjoy this article and the fabulous slideshow by Jeffrey Allred. The governor even stayed until the end, graciously signing the keepsake "Yearbooks" created by LeAnne, and presented to each of the 100-year olds.
