4067 - Sandy, Utah, United States

The card is a reproduction of an oil pastel entitled Circle Dance  by Ann Altman.  Sandy is a city of almost 100 000 people located in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. There are a couple of theories as to how Sandy got it's name: The first theory is Brigham Young named Sandy because of it's thirsty soil. The second theory is it is named for Alexander "Sandy" Kinghorn, the engineer who ran the first train line to this end of the Salt Lake Valley.  Sandy is home to Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer and the Utah Royals of the National Women's Soccer League. Both play in America First Field (American First Credit Union) which has seats for 20 213 soccer spectators. 

3891 - Herriman, Utah, United States of America

I've always liked Norman Rockwell paintings. This one is entitled, The Lineman  (1949). It was an advertisement for American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T).  Herriman is located in south west Salt Lake County. It has a population of 55 200 people. It is home to the Zions Bank Real Academy, a soccer complex that serves at the training centre for Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer. At the complex is Zions Bank Stadium for the Real Monarchs who play in MLS Next Pro, a reserve club for Real Salt Lake, kind of like the minor leagues. The Utah Warriors also play here. They play in Major League Rugby.
