For Iron Count y Today
CEDAR CITY — The 36th annual Larry
H. Miller Utah Summer Games commenced After missing last year
with the Opening Ceremony on Friday, June due to the COVID-19
pandemic, the flames,

included the athlete’s parade, lighting of the
torch, family-friendly activities, and fireworks.
“We are so excited to once again wel-
come everyone to the Opening Ceremony
and Utah Summer Games,” said Pace Clarke,
executive director of the Utah Summer
Games. “Canceled due to COVID, the
tradition of the games was greatly missed
last year in the Cedar City community. We
look forward to four fun-filled weeks of
collaboration, competition and celebrating
the participating athletes.”
Opening the four week event of the
Utah Summer Games, the Open Ceremony
featured the parade of athletes, lighting of
the cauldron, an SUU Aviation flyover as well
as amazing stunts performed by Flippenout
Extreme Trampoline. The Boogie Knights,
known as the greatest disco revival show in
the world, headlined the event.
Previous to the Open Ceremony, the
Utah Summer Games Summer Block Party
was held at SUU (800 West 200 South)
and included food trucks, face painting,
music, games and entertainment for
those of all ages.
With more than 40 sporting events, the
Utah Summer Games is one of the premier
sporting events in Utah and attracts athletes
of all ages and skill levels. The competition
celebrates excellence in the human spirit
and healthy lifestyles through extraordinary
sporting events and competition. Since 1986,
this event has been conducted at SUU with
an average total of 9,600 participants, 50
thousand spectators, and 1,000 volunteers in
attendance each year. The recent executive
order regarding the fireworks ban on state
property doesn’t apply to professionally pro-
duced shows and the Utah Summer Games,
along with SUU, took several precautionary
measures to ensure a safe firework display
during the current drought conditions.
The Utah State Fire Marshal, as well as city
and local officials, approved the show and, as
with any fireworks show, the Cedar City Fire
Department was on location.

Southwest Plumbing Supply & Central Iron

community to join them at the Main Street Park in

The festival was designed to educate commu-

Paul Monroe, Central Iron County Water
Conservancy District General Manager said the
District has decided to help preserve water
resources in this exceptional drought year by
replacing the fire truck spray used in years past
with a foam machine on the giant slip n slide.
“Due to the drought, we need to cut back on
water usage at the Festival, and with high fire
danger in the area we felt it was important to not
use a fire truck either,” he said. “Instead there will
be a large foam machine that uses minimal water
on the slip n slide this year.”

educate community on
water conservation
The water balloon fights will also be replaced
with other fun outdoor games for the kids that
don’t require water use.
Ensign Engineering is the “Big Wave Lunch” spon-
sor, and will provide free hot dogs for lunch beginning
at 11 a.m. and running as long as supplies last.
Those who attend can learn about the solutions
the District is creating to solve the water prob-
lems in the Cedar Valley, including conservation,
recharging and reusing water, and efforts to import
water into the valley.
Booths will be set up with information on water
efficient products, water-wise landscaping options
such as Localscapes, water efficiency rebates, free
water checks, the “Get to Know Your H2O” cam-
paign and more. Food and merchandise vendors
will also be offering their wares.
To add to the fun, there will be giveaways
and all attendees can enter to win fun summer
yard games. Community members can get extra
giveaway entries on the District’s Facebook page.
Mikey and the Mrs. from the radio station B92.1 will
be broadcasting live at the event.
The District would like to thank all its sponsors
for making the Water Festival possible. Festival
sponsors include: Southwest Plumbing Supply,
Ensign Engineering, Carollo Engineers, Smith’s Food
and Drug Stores, Rainbow Sign & Design, Stewart
Brother’s Electric, Smart Termite & Pest Control,
and Kwik Soft H2O.

of declining water levels and community growth.
