Here are a few photos from our National Night Out event earlier this month.

It was a great evening to spend time together as a community and get to know some of the officers and public safety personnel who serve Kanab.

A big thank you to the Kanab City Police Department for all they do to serve and protect our community every day. We appreciate their hard work, dedication, and the time they take to build positive relationships with the people they serve.

Thanks to everyone who came out and joined us!

Here are a few photos from our Taste of Kanab event!

Taste of Kanab gave participants the chance to experience pieces of our community’s story through Southern Paiute foods, pioneer favorites, Little Hollywood-era dishes, and even some local fry sauce.

We’re fortunate to have a community that values its history and continues to invest in preserving and sharing it, one bite at a time.

Thank you to the Utah Historical Society, the Kanab Museum, our local history speakers, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this unique event possible!
