In this episode of Roots and Branches of Lehi, host Ryan Harding sits down with lifelong resident Jean Hatch to reflect on growing up in what many remember as “Old Lehi.” Jean shares vivid memories of a tight-knit farming town — playing at Vet’s Park, attending local theaters, and participating in neighborhood traditions like ward “round-the-block” parades that later influenced the beloved Lehi Roundup miniature parade. Jean also recounts her family’s deep roots in the community, including early fundraising efforts that helped establish what would become the Hutchings Museum. Her lifelong dedication to community service extended into decades of involvement with the Miss Lehi Pageant, where she helped mentor young women and champion scholarships, service platforms, and personal development. The conversation includes unforgettable moments from her daughter’s year as Miss Lehi 2001, including a trip to Miss America during the events of 9/11, and the powerful experiences that shaped that journey.

Through her work, the arts became a space for creativity, connection, and belonging for generations of Lehi residents.
