THE ARTS COMMITTEES
Our ancestors were artists in many ways. We will try to find their
art and encourage our relatives, their descendents, to continue in
their ways. We have artists, musicians, poets, cooks and many other
talents among our ancestors. We need to find the products of their
work and share it with the family.
GENERAL CHAIR: Amanda Elton
Art Subcommittee
Mission
There are many sides to the field of art work: painting, sculpture,
pottery, etc. Who in the family has been so talented? We want to
find them.

Music, Drama and Dance Subcommittee

The expressions of the musical art form are many: instruments, orchestras

music to support it.

Coloring Book Subcommittee

To target an art expression that might appeal to the children today,
we have chosen the coloring book as a specialized art form to represent
our early pioneer and English ancestors in pictures of their day
for the kids to color.
Functions:
- Create a pioneer coloring book for our kids and grand kids and
great grand kids to color in, using pictures of family farmhouses,
wagons,
handcarts, oxen, sheep, sod houses, cooking items, farm implements,
saw mill (John Marriott, Jr.), etc.
- Create another similar coloring book representing events in
England like early baptisms in the river or lake, listening
to street preachers,
different trades, etc.
Chair: position available
Committee Members: positions available

Recipes Subcommittee
Mission
Our people sometimes eat little, but they were good cooks. We want
to find some of the old family recipes, or recipes representative
of the pioneer and English time periods of our ancestors. We should
have
a family chef and enjoy old recipes at our reunions and have contests
for good recipes today.
Functions:
- Family chef cooking contest
- Family pot luck dinner at the Marriott Ward building in Ogden,
using old recipes
