Lehi kicked off June with wall-to-wall sunshine, as residents enjoyed blue skies and highs topping out in the low 80s, making it the quintessential summer Sunday. The beautiful weather set the perfect stage for a flurry of activity across the city.

In local sports, the Lehi Pioneers baseball team was the talk of town after clinching a decisive 6-2 win in the state quarterfinals yesterday, advancing them to the highly anticipated semifinals. The track and field team also notched strong performances heading into their final meets, helping keep the city’s sports spirit high.

For those with seasonal sniffles, pollen counts trended moderate, thanks to all the recent sunshine and a light breeze, so allergy sufferers got a bit of a break. The air quality was described as good throughout the day, giving families extra reason to flock to local parks for picnics and games[1].

If you’re politically minded, today marks the start of the Declaration of Candidacy period for Lehi’s mayoral, city council, and school board elections. Over the next week, aspiring leaders can file for office, with both the mayor’s seat and two city council positions—along with several new school board slots in the recently named Aspen Peaks School District—up for grabs[2][4]. It’s a time for community engagement and big decisions, as Lehi gears up for an August primary and the November general election.

Elsewhere, the city hosted a variety of community events Sunday, from block parties to farmer’s markets, all thriving under the early summer sun[1]. The only cloud was a reminder from city officials for drivers to take extra care near event areas and the rodeo grounds after a minor car accident late Saturday evening left a teenage girl hospitalized, emphasizing the importance of safety as the city enters its busiest season[5].

With long days, winning teams, and big decisions ahead, the first days of June have Lehi buzzing with energy and optimism for a summer to remember.
