It may have been much smaller than prior food truck festivals, but last weekendâs Pop-Up Food Truck Court at Rumsey Park was no less tasty.
Eight food trucks took part in the event, spaced out in the parking lot west of the library, giving diners plenty of room to mill around and eat.
It was the first time the town has used Rumsey to host the event. They held prior events at Green Valley Park.
Diners said they appreciated the new location since it offered more seating with several ramadas nearby. Seating has always been limited at the Green Valley events, and most people had to bring their own seats or stand and eat.
Courtney Spawn-Kort and Kaprice Bachtell must like lemonade because they have made the most of the lemons COVID-19 handed them.
When the pandemic threatened to cancel last summerâs popular food truck festival at Green Valley Park, Spawn-Kort, the townâs Parks, Recreation and Tourism director and Bachtell, the townâs special events coordinator, came up with a plan to scale down the August event to assure it could take place. But that was just part of the plan. Theyâve added a new Pop-Up Food Truck Food Court at Rumsey Park from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., Friday, April 16 and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday, April 17.
Well, plastic eggs containing a tiny treat.
Sunny skies and near-80-degree temperatures enticed hundreds of kids to take part in the Payson Easter Egg Hunt â Eggstravaganza at Rumsey Park on Saturday morning.
Children in colorful Easter outfits raced out in controlled chaos six times between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.. Every half hour, age division hunts started on one of four fields.
Toddlers ages 0-3 kicked off the action-packed morning.
One boy seemed thrilled as he sprinted out to a clear lead once Town of Payson Parks & Recreation Special Events Coordinator Kaprice Bachtell finished her first countdown. He reached the outfield fence before anyone.
