Community + Personal Interest in Iron County
Spring Fling
In celebration of Cinco de Mayo and National Bike Month, the
Spring Fiesta & Slow Roll hit the town last week as riders of all ages
pedaled their decorated bikes, trikes and scooters along a designated
path through Historic Downtown Cedar City. There were plenty of
fun, Latin inspired activities to celebrate staying active and cultural
diversity in our community. The beautiful spring evening’s event
was well-attended by hundreds of people and included many local
businesses promoting safety, health, unity, along with craft vendors,
food trucks offering plenty of delicious food and a live mariachi band
(Baile Folklorico) that made sure the fiesta didn’t turn into a siesta.
