Photo of the week June 28 2023

Big celebrations have been a part of life in San Juan County for many years. This photograph of the San Juan High School band was taken on September 17, 1946 at the dedication of Highway 95 and Chaffin’s Ferry over the Colorado River. If you can name anyone in the photo, which is from the San Juan High School Collection, please contact Heather Raisor of the San Juan County Historical Preservation Commission at (435) 485-0229. If you have scrapbooks full of wedding and graduation invitations, newspaper articles, or more, they may be valuable community and family history. The Historical Preservation Commission will be happy to pick them up scan the relevant pages and return them to you. Courtesy photo
