🏛️ Thank You for Joining Us at Family Night! 🎨

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Chieftain Museum for Family Night. Families enjoyed sidewalk chalk art, museum exhibits, snacks, and an evening spent together celebrating local history and community.

It was wonderful to see so many creative chalk masterpieces and smiling faces on the museum grounds.

A special thank you to our volunteers, museum staff, and everyone who helped make the evening a success.

We look forward to seeing you at future museum programs and events!

❤️ Thank you for supporting the Chieftain Museum and preserving Santaquin's history.

NACHO NIGHT TONIGHT!

05/06/2026

Two years ago today, we lost one of our own, Sergeant Bill Hooser, who was tragically struck and killed by a semi-truck driver during a traffic stop on the freeway.

Sergeant Hooser exemplified what it means to protect and serve. He had a deep passion for his role as a police officer and approached his responsibilities with professionalism, integrity, and a constant desire to improve both himself and the department.

Thank you, Bill, for the example you set and for the lasting impact you made on our community. We honor your memory today and always. You are gone, but never forgotten.

End of Watch – May 5, 2024
