Mayor's Message

ALL ABOOOAAARD!

Cedar City's Railroad Centennial Celebration is coming June 19th - 24th!

In 1923 my mother was 11 years old and lived right across from the Train Depot on Main Street. The arrival of the train and President Harding was one of the most significant events in her 89 years. She would have loved to be here for our Railroad Centennial Celebration, but this time she would surely be inside the fence.

We are going to commemorate the centennial of the railroad’s arrival in June from Monday the 17th to Saturday the 24th. Plenty of free family-friendly events are planned each day of the week culminating on Saturday with the Party-in-the-Park where we will witness a re-enactment of the arrival of President Harding.

Some highlights of the week include free train rides for kids on the Centennial Express, historical marker dedications, a Sing Away Social, music, dancing, bike riding, activities in the park, free admission to Homestead State Park, a family paint night, and more, more, more. The schedule is packed with something for everyone. Please celebrate with us and visit our website for the full schedule:

WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND YARD MAINTENANCE TIPS

With the increased level of snow pack and rainfall we received this winter, it can commonly be mistaken that we should not expect a harsh wildfire season. However, the truth is with more things greening up, more things will quickly dry out with the summer heat. This leads to more dry vegetation and the possibility for more grass and wildfires.

We encourage everyone to maintain their residential and commercial property by following the wildfire prevention tips below.

Not only do we protect our community from wildfire risk by maintaining our properties and yards, but it also creates a higher quality of life in the overall aesthetics of our city.

• Keep lawns mowed & hydrated according to the City’s irrigation schedule (no watering between 8 am and 6 pm).
• Keep firewood piles on your property at least 80 feet away from buildings.
• Clear needles, leaves, and other debris from roofs, gutters, porches, and decks.
• Install metal mesh screening in attic and crawl space vents to reduce potential wildfire ignitions.
• Open burning is not allowed in Cedar City; please take garbage to the Landfill.
