Summary

Parks and Recreation staff presented a full schedule of Heritage Days activities, including a storytelling event, a digital scavenger hunt, free swim and family night, youth street-hockey clinic, a mini pageant, service projects, a car show, an evening movie and a drone show.

Ivins — Parks and Recreation staff on Thursday detailed the schedule for the city’s Heritage Days celebration, which runs Sept. 6–13 and features free and low-cost events for families.

Parks director Mark (last name not provided in the record) outlined the week’s major activities: a free storytelling program (“Coyote Tales”) at 7 a.m. Saturday at the park; a digital scavenger hunt launching Sunday with about 70 challenges; a moved free-swim family night on Monday at 6:30 p.m.; a youth street-hockey clinic on Tuesday; a mini “Miss” pageant on Wednesday with eight contestants; Thursday designated as a national day of service with cemetery plantings and pavilion service projects; Friday evening community dinner and a movie in the park; and Saturday’s parade, vendor booths, contests, a concert and a Black Desert-sponsored drone show to close the celebration.

Why it matters: The schedule gives residents a range of family and volunteer opportunities and allocates city resources and volunteer responsibilities across the week.

Staff noted special features: several events are free to Ivins residents, pool access during class hours, a youth street-hockey clinic run with a local hockey club, youth service projects coordinated with a local ward, a car show and a free movie in the park on Friday night. The council noted Mayor Chris Hart will serve as grand marshal; staff read a short biographical summary recognizing his service as mayor.

Quote on the record

“The theme this year is planting seeds and harvesting unity,” Mark said while reviewing the schedule.

Ending

Staff indicated flyers and the city website contain full daily schedules and emphasized the city’s desire for broad community participation.
