Decades of Dixie Heritage Festival

Monday was another celebration for our cities birthday. It was the Heritage Festival at the Dixie Center. The main ballroom was setup like downtown with street signs, building fronts old and existing locations. There were so many old pictures and displays to look at you weren't sure where to start. How about down Main Street. We looked at old cars, old books, and played at the new Children's Museum.

St George Temple
The kids loved the replica of the temple and old pictures.

Let's dance... Listened to St George Native Eric Dodge.

Reganne had to try out the drums backstage.

Birthday Cake... Looked to good to eat.

Ryder wanted to visit the men in hats. So we stopped by their booth and the men all were eager to visit with the kids. They let them wear hats for WWII. They were had serviced in Vietnam & Korea.


It was a fun family night and I loved that the people there were eager to talk to the kids and explain their displays. What a great way to learn about our heritage and make history fun.
