City Council - Sep 2, 2026
Resident Mike Hardy says the Salmon Supper has become nearly impossible to get into, with tickets selling out before many residents can buy. The council and Recreation staff walked through the current process — a resident-only pre-sale of 2,000 tickets that sold out in about four hours — and agreed to explore options like an early senior seating and better publicity in the Payson Chronicle.

The Salmon Supper is set for Friday, August 7, with tables moved into the shade because of extreme heat. Over 2,000 Payson residents got tickets through the resident-only presale. Council members are being recruited for two-hour photo booth shifts at Onion Days on Labor Day.
