Parade of Homes 2021
The Parade of Homes has been a tradition in southern Utah that has promoted the building industry in the area since 1991. Kayenta has had representation in the event for twenty-eight of those thirty years. Many of our residents have enjoyed hosting the event and welcoming people from all over the world to our community since its beginning. Some of our residents have even discovered our community through the Parade of Homes.
As the new year begins, we are all looking forward to new beginnings and a fresh start in 2021. With a hopeful eye on ending the COVID-19 pandemic, we are still confronted with the reality that the new year will not bring a swift end to it.
The Southern Utah Home Builders Association (SUHBA) has been optimistic that the Parade of Homes for 2021 can continue as it has in the past years. Kayenta, J2 Construction, Kayenta Homes & Properties and Gulch Design Group have been planning our parade home for the past year and we are continuing to finalize construction and furnishings as usual.
As President’s Day Weekend approaches (the annual kickoff for the Parade of Homes), we are getting concerned that we will not be able to proceed as normal. Kayenta, J2 Construction, Kayenta Homes & Properties and Gulch Design Group have voiced our concerns to SUHBA about the event taking place this year given the public safety concerns around COVID-19.
Currently, we are under contract with SUHBA to produce a parade home that will be open to the public. A virtual option might be possible but for now, we do not have word from SUHBA if that is an alternative. We will continue to share information with our community regarding the Parade of Homes as it becomes available to us.
Thank you for your continued support.

Ivins Night Sky Initiative
If one of the reasons you moved to Ivins was because of the dark starry sky, you need to read this.
Support Preserving the Night Sky in Ivins
First – Thanks to everyone who submitted a comment to the Planning Commission. We understand there were at least 39 comments submitted prior to the meeting and apparently more that came in later. In our opinion that demonstrates strong support for protecting our night sky. However, during the Planning Commission meeting, one member said the number was insignificant.
We need to show the Planning Commission that there are many, many of us living in Ivins who do SUPPORT preserving the night sky.
Please send an email today!
Deadline for comments for the Jan. 5th Planning Commission meeting is
Monday, January 4th at 4pm
Sharon Allen, Deputy City Recorder HERE (sallen@ivins.com)
or
Bryan Pack, Planning Commission Chair HERE (bpack@ivins.com)
Here’s why it is so important for everyone to speak up.
Although the Planning Commission has not officially approved any of the proposed changes, one vital change they seemed to agree on, with the persuasion of Commission member Bob Morris, was to remove ALL reference to protecting our night sky. In Mr. Morris’ position paper aptly titled “Night Sky” or “Frightening Sky” he makes such statements as “The internet has been flooded with pro night sky propaganda since 1985”. “The biggest deterrent to Night Sky is not light pollution. It is the MOON.” “This is NSP (Night Sky Proponents) polluting our ordinance”. “Property Rights” should prevail over an NSP “you are polluting MY sky attitude”. In the meeting, he also made the statement that the words “night sky” had been hijacked by an apparently unsavory group so Ivins City could no longer use that phrase.
What he doesn’t mention in his paper are all the references to protecting our night sky in our General Plan which outlines a vision for the future of Ivins.
• Preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the landscape and spiritual quality of the environment.
• Protect the night sky by carefully regulating lighting while also promoting safety for residents
• Preserve the natural beauty and vistas that give Ivins City its unique identity, including…open spaces and the night sky.
• Pedestrian lighting is all that is needed in a roundabout and unlike traffic signals they will not impact our cherished night sky.
• Lighting is to be subdued and night-sky friendly
So here we are. Obviously two very opposing views of what is of value. It’s only by speaking up and contacting the commission that we can convince them that there is in fact strong support for our night sky (even if they think that is a dirty word). If 39-50 emails are ‘insignificant’ then let’s send 200. Please email today – all your need to say is you value and support protecting the night sky and you oppose any changes that will create more light pollution and degrade our night skies.
We will continue to keep you informed of any changes to the Lighting Ordinance It will be very important to participate in the two Planning Commission Public Hearings that will be scheduled prior to submitting changes to the City Council. Thank you for your support.

The 2021 KAF Gala is postponed for a year. “We do not want to promote an in-person social event that cannot maintain social distancing and may encourage the spread of the virus. Our motto this year is Safety First. We will wait until we can safely gather together to celebrate the ” Says Rob Goodman, Board Chair.
As we wrap up 2020 and welcome the new year, we reflect on the extraordinary year we have all experienced. Your support of our mission and our diverse, enriching programs shone through ever so clearly, even throughout this most challenging time.

KAF’s 3rd Anniversary Community Art Project
You Contribute. You Participate. You’re Involved.
Space is still available.
Due to COVID-19 the dates to pick up your squares have changed again to:
January 24th, 25th, 28th, & 29th.
Choose one of four dates to pick up and complete a 4 inch square ART jigsaw puzzle. That’s it.
Hollie Ragland and nationally renowned, local artist, Greg Ragland (gregragland.com) are creating a vertical sculpture made of cubes that requires your interaction to construct! A contribution of $100 makes you part of the sculptural team. It buys you your 4 inch square that will be assembled with the others to make one concise piece of art. If so inclined you may purchase more than one square. With the necessary involvement of participants the completed project will raise $4,800 for The Center for the Arts at Kayenta. The finished sculpture created by Greg Ragland with the help of your time will be auctioned to the community—a financial bonus for CFAK added on to your already personal financial gift and your time.

December 2020 Recap of Ivins City Council Activities
Hello and Happy New Year!
Council continues to discuss Black Desert Resort’s request for public funding for an underground parking garage. City staff and their consultants are analyzing the proforma data. I anticipate we’ll receive a report on the analysis at our first meeting in January.
Ivins continues to search for a reliable source of water for the new irrigation system. The Shivwits Band of Paiute Indians has 2000 acre-feet of water rights they might sell to Ivins but it’s expensive. At our last meeting, Council approved funding for a feasibility study to determine if it’s more cost-effective to build our own wastewater treatment and reclamation plant. If the results of the study are positive, Ivins will build a plant and start processing and recycling our wastewater, as opposed to continuing to pay St. George to process our wastewater. I’m in full support of using recycled wastewater for irrigation.
The Planning Commission is considering changes to the Ivins Lighting Ordinance. It’s important everyone understands that these changes were NOT requested by City Council. Last February, Council requested that the Planning Commission modify the Lighting Ordinance to prohibit electronic signboards. There will be a public hearing associated with the potential changes so tune into the Planning Commission meetings and please send emails to the Planning Commission and participate in the public hearing so that your voice is heard on this important topic. Our dark sky is important to protect!
Here’s to 2021 – cheers!

Trips & Trails is Back
January 19th, 10 am
We will be going to the sinkhole off Highway 91, before Beaver Dam. 5 miles of Dirt Road. We travel thru the mountain and have lunch at Cedar Pockets. Half-Day Trip.
Leave at 10 am January 19th from the main Kayenta Office, 800 Kayenta Parkway. Bring a lunch. We will be safe by travelling in our own vehicles, wearing masks and keeping apart.
2021 is here and we are finally able to rebuild and heal from the unrest and uncertainty of 2020. All of our lives have changed immensely over the last year – a year that looked nothing like the year any of us had anticipated. Thankfully the New Year is here. Let’s embrace and celebrate it.
While we are still not able to gather around Petite Feast’s communal tables as we usually would, we are able to gather around our own dining tables to reflect on and appreciate the community and togetherness that we share. Brighter flavors, sweeter desserts, and heartier laughter are all in store for us!
Please know that I am thoughtfully declining to accept reservations for Petite Feast’s Dinner Club until there is more clarity on indoor coronavirus transmission risks. Until that time, please stay safe and be well. – Victoria

Petite Feast Dinner Club
Petite Feast’s Virtual Dinner Party Continues into 2021!
Whew, we made it! The Virtual Dinner Party has said farewell to 2020 and we plan to usher in the New Year with friendship, delicious food and cooking together! Even though ongoing physical distance precautions have kept us apart, we have made the best of it. We started off the month by making the classic Indian curry dish, Saag Aloo. However, for this recipe, we made an unusual ingredient swap. We subbed sweet potatoes for the traditionally used russets in order to amp up the nutrition. The results were not only tasty but particularly appealing on the plate. VDP members Susan Crosby and Judith Hutcheson tried the recipe and received rave reviews on their cookery and on the intoxicating smells wafting from their kitchens. Strong work chefs!
The second recipe of the month was for Spicy Gingerbread Snowballs. The recipe offered a twist on the standard Christmas cookie plate addition. Lois and Paul Andrews brought their treats to a winter solstice star-watching party where Lois made an unusual (but hilarious) name change for their offering. I bet her cleverness added a bit of holiday Ho, Ho, Ho – or perhaps, Hee, hee, hee – to the “Christmas Star” viewing gathering. I heard other VDP members baked the cookies to make Secret Santa door drops to their unsuspecting Kayenta neighbors. What a great way to spread some holiday cheer!
We also hosted our first online cooking class in December. For the first time, the Virtual Dinner Party was able to bake together as a group in real-time through the magic of Zoom. I have to confess, there was a steep learning curve for me. The internet time lag and impersonal nature of zooming were a bit weird, but attendees cheerily persevered through my missteps. They took it in stride that I forgot to mention what mixer attachment to use when making a meringue, and they totally had my back when I left them unattended to search my cupboards for ingredients I had forgotten to set out. But even with the glitches, I am extremely thankful for the experience. Zooming is no substitute for face-to-face gathering, but in these very unusual times, it was miraculous to be able to spend time with our community of chefs and diners for just one night. For me, the best part was the spirited text volley between participants that occurred after the class. I am smiling still at how our group continued to inspire and share their creativity with one another.
For the class, we prepared a Holiday Meringue Cake with Chocolate and Rosemary. Sheree Giesenhaggen and Christy Lueders turned out stunning creations while John Reed provided very insightful and spot-on baking recommendations. His thoughtful contribution solved the uneven baking conundrum for the group. In order to ring in the New Year with style, Katy Petersen and Colette Szczensy held off on assembling their cakes until the 31st. I am certain champagne was the perfect accompaniment to complement their handiwork. And, always delightful Kristin and John Hunt were there too, cheering the group on with their humor and good spirits. It truly was a party!
Please know how grateful I am for the opportunity to continue to cook with you. The activity and your participation continue to boost my spirits. I know that no amount of cooking will fill the void of missing actual contact with our community, but I do hope that this activity and these recipes will help build a bridge to connect us in some way.
If you are not a member but would like to become one, please join us through Next-door. If you would rather just have access to the recipes, all of them are available at https://petitefeastutah.com/recipes/. I will continue to enthusiastically post weekly anticipating the time when we can dine together again around Petite Feast communal tables.
But until that time, be safe and cook on!
Cheers! – Victoria
Thank you for sharing your stories with us.
2020 was certainly unusual but we have great hope that 2021 will be a much better year and that we will be able to gather again to share our stories live on stage. We have missed you! But until the time when we can gather together safely, we will continue to host virtual storytelling events. Check out the Coyote Tales website for upcoming dates and themes and join us in the belief that storytelling – in all its forms – is a powerful bond that connects and unites us. We can’t wait to hear your tale!
Coyote Tales events are sponsored by Utah Humanities, Petite Feast, Desert Dweller, and Zion Brewery Station 2 and are offered as a safe way for our community to gather together-apart. Coyote Tales Virtual events are free.
We are now open daily.
Monday – Wednesday, 11:30am – 5pm
Thursday – Friday 11:30am – 8pm
Saturday-Sunday 9 am-8 pm
