1923 Strawberry Queen Remembers Her Reign
PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH -- LDS Church member Grace Chipman, 96, still
remembers how she was chosen as Pleasant Grove, Utah's first
Strawberry Queen. The young women in local LDS wards sold tickets or
"votes" and whoever sold the most would be queen. But Chipman won
without selling a single ticket -- her boyfriend and sister sold the
tickets and won the contest for her.
