Several community members were nominated by the public for the 2020 Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Grand Marshal, and Price City Council members voted for lifelong resident, Jana Olsen.

“As a young girl, Jana’s favorite local place to visit was the Malt Shop in East Carbon and from that stemmed her love for all things Drive-Ins. As a teenager and son after a young mother, Jana began working there on and off as a carhop and cook until her life took her in other directions. She always dreamed that one day she would be able to return to the drive-in business by opening her own.

In late 2013, an opportunity arose for her and her partner, Ike Lee, to purchase the iconic Sherald’s Drive-In. Without hesitation, Jana jumped on the opportunity to finally fulfill her dream and she and Ike made the purchase. After a few years and many long hours, Jana had completely transformed the drive-in to Sherald’s Frosty Freeze and it was once again a household name.

After her success with Sherald’s, 3 more exciting opportunities knocked on her door and she was able to reopen Main Street Grill as Granny J’s in 2018, which is lovingly named after what her grandchildren call her, Club Mecca and The Filling Station in 2019.

Jana would like to thank her community and very loved customers because she would not be able to fulfill her dreams without them. She has been given so much love with each one of her adventures and she is excited to see where the future will take them. Jana is living proof that with hard work and determination, dreams really are possible.”

Jana will be featured on a float with her family during the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, at 12 pm on Main Street in Price, March 14, 2020 as well as awarded a plaque of recognition during a regularly scheduled Price City Council meeting.
