Tickets for the Reed Smoot Citizenship Awards Banquet April 20 are on sale at the Provo/Orem Chamber of Commerce, 777 S. State, Orem.
"This banquet promises to be one of Provo's social highlights of the year," said Steve Densley, chamber president. "We will be honoring eight prominent citizens for their outstanding personal contributions toward making Provo a better place to learn, live, work and play."The Smoot awards, named after former U.S. Sen. Reed Smoot of Provo, will be presented annually by the chamber to persons who work or live in Provo, he said. The awards program is a counterpart to the Arthur V. Watkins Outstanding Citizen Awards, which recognize accomplishments of persons who work or live in Orem.
This year's Smoot award recipients will be announced next week and will be honored at the April 20 banquet in the Wilkinson Center Memorial Lounge at Brigham Young University. A reception at 6:30 p.m. will be followed by a dinner at 7 p.m., Densley said.
