Ali Tenney
Eight-year-old Ali Tenney is an amazing reader and has read all six Harry Potter books at least once. She is a sixth-generation Hunt, one of the founding families of Pine-Strawberry. The Hunts settled the Strawberry Valley and parts of Pine in the 1880s. Like many Mormon pioneer families, the Hunts were headed to California. After stopping in Snowflake to visit relatives, they resumed their trek and discovered the beautiful Pine-Strawberry area. The family has occupied the same homestead for more than 100 years. "Ali is a wonderful, well-rounded child," said her mother, Kadi. "She's smart, fun, beautiful and happy - all the things you want your child to be." Dressed in a traditional pioneer bonnet, Ali recently participated in the annual Pioneer Day celebration at Payson's Rumsey Park.
