Richard Erickson Antique Power Show
Richard Erickson “Dick” is a self made man with dreams and a passion, his motto: “NEWER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER”
Richard Erickson Story
When Dick Erickson moved
from Minnesota to Utah in
1955, he drove a yellow 1947
Ford convertible with his first
motorcycle, a 5200 Harley Davidson, chopped and stroked,
strapped to the rear bumper.
Dick later served in the Army
and traveled the globe with
his wife Rita visiting every
continent and developing an
eye for antique collecting. In
1971 they purchased the Wallsburg farm as a retreat from
his construction business and
as a place to store some of the
antiques he was acquiring.
With 43 years of hard work,
Dick and his wife Rita built
Power Show
Demonstrations
the finest antique collection
this side of the Mississippi. Over the years, Dick has
amassed a veritable treasure
trove of antique tractors,
motorcycles, automobiles and
buildings. To give an idea of
the massiveness: Dick’s collection of Indian Motorcycles
starts with the 1914 model,
and extends up to a 1940 Indian Chief, and a 1941 WWII
Indian side car model. That is
just one collection!
Part of Dick’s vision for
his antique collection is to
create a place where the past
seems to come alive with authentic buildings, actual tools
and period machinery. This
year he is adding a church and
trading post.
“Some people collect
stamps,” Erickson says. “But I
collect buildings.” He has two
Wallsburg
log cabins
restored from
1887, a shoe
shop brought
over from North Temple and
778 West in Salt Lake with
original tools and equipment,
a polygamist house from 4th
West and 18th South in SLC
has been converted to an oldtime cafe, a filling station is
complete with motor oil cans,
spark plugs and other needs.
There’s an old
print shop, a
blacksmith
building and
more. This
is more than
an antique collection; it’s an
entire antique town.
The title Power Show
comes from the working farm
machinery demonstrations,
antique airplane fly by, and
Model T, A, and B drag races.
Dick has opened his 300
acre ranch once a year since
2003 so the public can step
back in time. He is still an
avid collector so there are
new items every year. Wife
Rita passed away in 2007. A
few years later Dick met Faye
Murray in Lake Havasu who
fell in love with his bright
blue eyes and boyish grin. She
works as hard as he does, cataloging Rita’s treasures and
sprucing up the grounds of the
town.
If you are lucky, you may
meet Dick Erickson in person,
81 years old, skin weathered
from a lifetime of work outside, stopping work just long
enough to offer a quick insight into one of his antiques.
He might give you the story
behind a 1911 Excelsior or a
1916 Harley
Davidson
61CI.
This will be
the 3rd year
the Wallsburg Music Festival
has joined the Power Show (an
easy sell) by Ted Shupe and
Rob O’Driscoll to Dick who
himself is an accomplished
guitar player. The two events
are a true heritage festival.
One price gets you all of the
wonderful antique displays,
and into the Music Festival.

Park City will be on board to help as well. She will also be conducting a Singer Songwriter Circle.
Rob O’ Driscoll
Board Member, Stage Artist and Musician
Rob O’Driscoll lives in
Wallsburg and it was he that
introduced Richard Erickson
and Ted Shupe when the
Wallsburg Music Festival was
born. He also has many other
claims to fame. First of all, he
is the builder of the beautiful
Old Mill Stage. He had helpers
in the construction, but it was
his vision that led the work.
Rob has been interested in
wood since early childhood
when his father built their
home. The home was in Kamas
near the lumber mills where
he, as a boy, played and could
easily find pieces of wood to
create things. Later, he worked
in the lumber mills. As a
young man he began building
custom furniture.
He married Sheri Ford
and they moved to Wallsburg.
Sheri passed away in 2005
and Rob remarried Korby
Atkinson. Rob inherited an
old family chicken coop where
he could continue building
furniture. That became the
Old Mill Woodworking founded
in 1974. He built furniture
for a time but now the
business specializes in custom
stairways, moldings and doors
for residential homes. It’s
a work of art, design, and
creativity to help people build
their dream homes. Rob raised
his sons Rusty, Andy and
Rycklee who were working
with him. Now they have taken
over the shop for themselves.
Rob’s father played trumpet
in the local dance band. As a
youth Rob was taught trumpet
as well, but when he heard
Earl Scruggs play the banjo
he told his dad that’s what he
wanted to play. And his dad
brought him home a banjo.
Now Rob plays a banjo he
crafted himself, highlighted
with gold plating. Yes it is
beautiful! It is obvious that
Rob is well respected in the
Wasatch County communities
as he has been the most
successful board member at
enrolling business sponsors
in the festival. Without Rob
there wouldn’t be the beautiful
stage and there would be less
money to bring in the touring
bands. Thanks to Rob for
the beautiful stage and great
lineup.
Rob’s Beautiful Stage
The Shupe Family
The Wallsburg Music Festival was born in 2014 when
Ted Shupe was looking for
a place to do a festival and
Rob O’Driscoll suggested the
Erickson Ranch in Wallsburg,
Utah, near Rob’s home. Together they approached Richard
Erickson about bringing music
to his annual Power Show. It
looked like a possible fit and
the 1st ever Wallsburg Music
Festival was pulled together in
60 days under the umbrella of
Vibrant America, Inc., a 501
(c) 3 organization that already
existed for promoting live music. Rob O’Driscoll designed
and headed the team to build
the beautiful Old Mill Stage.
Talented local bands played for
free and patrons paid to camp
and see dedicated musicians
on stage and jam into the
night.
Now we have arrived at the
3rd Annual Wallsburg Music
Festival (short title Ted Fest)
and we have an impressive
group of talented touring
bands, educational workshops,
dedicated local bands, and a
singer-songwriter contest and
showcase. It is rumored that
festivals that survive at least
3 years should thrive thereafter. Hopefully this year proves
this true.
Chairman of the Board is
Ted Shupe, who has a forty
year history of music production that includes playing
upright bass, music teacher,
band organizer, band promoter,
music contest director, festival
promoter, and venue operator.
You could say he has dedicated
his life to mentoring musicians
and inviting audiences to enjoy. He knows talent and good
music and works hard to book
the best music to fit the budget. Ever the eternal optimist,
he is sure there is a way to
bring divergent ideas together
and make it work.
His lifelong companion, Sandy Shupe, brings additional
insight to the Vibrant America
team. With a degree in Communication, she has spent 30
years in event management at
the Weber County Fairgrounds,
David Eccles Conference Center and Thanksgiving Point.
She brings skills in working
with a board of directors, contract negotiation, ticket sales
management, event planning
and execution, and working
with a team to pull all the
elements together. As Secretary/Treasurer of the Vibrant
America board, it is her job to
worry about the details.
Parents of 5 musical children, they have recruited them
not only to play, but to take on
festival responsibilities. Daron
Shupe, banjoist and web developer, has been key in developing the website. Tara Shupe,
fiddler and mandolin expert,
is also a marketing director
and a top computer designer ,
now managing the website and
facebook page. Bonie Shupe,
bass player, who comes all the
way from Nederland, Colorado, will be handling the Green
Room. Ryan Shupe will be
bringing his Rubberband to
the main stage. Also Tara and
Daron will play on main stage
with Pony Ride.
Salute To Alex Booth
Alex Booth is the Board
Member heading up the Singer/Songwriter Contest this year
at the Hangar Stage. Every
hit once had a premier. Songwriting is a talent all of us
can encourage if we want the
world flooded with beautiful,
meaningful songs. Taking entries, getting judges, encouraging the timid is no easy task.
Thanks to Alex for his efforts
and check out the contest on
Saturday at the Hangar Stage.
He is also co-hosting the
Singer/Songwriter Showcase
on Friday with talented Singer/Songwriters Mindy Dillard
and Elizabeth Hareza.
But there is more to Alex’s
efforts. He and his brother
Nathanial “Tigger” Booth work
overtime supporting acoustic
music in Utah County. Calling their organization J.A.M
(Just Acoustic Music), they
are creating enthusiasm for
Roots Music. Between them
they can teach most acoustic
instruments in their home in
Mapleton or your home. They
also host jams, sponsor Battle
of Acoustic Bands contests,
present acoustic performers
in concert, write articles for
their web site www.justacousticmusic.com and breathe life
into the acoustic music scene
in and around Provo, Orem,
Payson, and Springville.
If you attended the Wallsburg Music Festival last year,
their band Whiskey Tree did
a professional and lively performance. They also rent out
sound equipment for small and
medium gigs or will engineer
sound for larger engagements.
Recently they taught a sound
engineering course. Join them
on their website or Facebook
page to keep up with all the
opportunities to support
Roots Music.

will also be hosting open mic
time at the Workshop Stage.
Lee Music was established
in the year 2000. He loves
owning a music store, but
loves teaching even more.
“The team of instructors
(including me) at Lee Music
are passing on to students
our own love and knowledge
of music. We are introducing
young student minds to artists and composers - broadening their musical pallets
with great music. The study
of music sparks cognitive
and social development - and
we are building pathways to
achieve that development.
Teachers open doors so that
music can be discovered.
That makes students happy,
and it makes teachers happy.
The practice of teaching adds
value to our lives - we pass on
knowledge and love of an art
form. What could be a better
profession?”
Lee Music is located at 55
West 100 South in Heber City,
Utah where he feels supported
by Heber, Kamas and Park
City residents. He explains
that Lee Music stayed open
during the recession of 2008.
When times got really tough,
people still valued music
enough to keep our doors
open and we are grateful for
that. We are very grateful for
that.

just lyrical. It could be a chord
progression, a beat, two notes, a
hum, a funny line or phrase you
come up with or come across, a
pleasant reaction to the roar of a
powerful river - it is inspiration.
Songwriting is a way to heal and
a way to empower. It requires the
songwriter to feel all the emo-
tions so that the bad is overcome
and the listener can embrace the
beautiful in the song. Songs are
a way of chronicling experiences
and making room for more ideas
to flood our brain waves. It is
incredibly cathartic.
So, I set out on a journey to
grow a songwriting community.
I wanted it to be a group where
anyone would feel welcome,
respected and encouraged to engage. When our group meets, we
strip down our walls and learn
that the world is so much big-

ger than us. I encourage all to
embrace their inner songwriter
and use that inspiration to speak
their minds, influence change
and listen to others. We all have
incredible power within us. After
a meeting, we feel refreshed, revitalized and inspired.

William Wall and his family
were the first people to make
their home in “round valley.”
They moved here from Provo,
Utah, in 1853. He had a small
band of sheep he usually
summered in Round Valley
when the grass was high and
made good feed. He finally
decided to move his family to
this valley. Enoch Gurr, Dixon
Greer and James Gurr came
soon afterwards bringing
their families.
A few years later J.W. Boren,
Morse Mecham, Edward Stoker, Guy Kaiser, George Bowen,
Luke Berdick and Francis
Kirby built homes. These few
settlers thought they could
easily cultivate what land
there was. They thought the
water supply was not sufficient to supply more farms
yet more people came and
were welcomed.
In the early sixties the Batty’s, Mechams, Bigelows and
Allreds moved into the valley.
In the early seventies came
the Davis, Burns, Thompsons,
Stokers and Wheelers. A few
Indians had been stealing
cattle from the settlers. In
1864 a fort was built around
the head of Spring Creek so

that the people might protect
themselves from the Indians.
Houses of logs and mud were
built along the fort walls. A
monument stands there today
in memory of the old fort.
The homes had one small
window and one door opening
into the fort and the roof was
made of dirt.
These settlers were anxious
to have their children attend
school. A schoolhouse was
built in the fort out of logs
and mud. Mrs. L. M. Boren
was the first schoolteacher.
When the schoolhouse was
finished, they celebrated by
dancing all night to keep a
fire going to dry the mud
walls. Brother Stokes fur-

nished the music. The only
tunes they knew were “Soldiers Joy” and “Irish Washer
Woman.”
The second schoolhouse was
built of rocks with two rooms
and still stands as part of
our historical buildings today. In 1904 Bishop George P.
Garph had our present schoolhouse built joining the rock
building.
The name of the settlement
was changed from Round
Valley to Wallsburg to honor
William M. Wall, it’s founder.
The population at one time
was over five hundred people but today it is only three
hundred.
