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.
