It's time once again for Peach Days in Hurricane Utah. This event and this year promises to be a fabulous celebration.  The theme for Peach Days this year is "A Celebration of our Heritage".  The event will be held on Friday 9/2/11 and Saturday 9/3/11.

I attended the first Peach Days when I moved to St George Utah 14 years ago, and I don't think I've missed one since.  It's a fun event to take the family to and has become a tradition for mine.

There's always plenty of food booths showcasing many different types of cuisine.  In years past, some of the local scout or youth groups have also had food booths to raise money for their organizations.  There's usually at least one booth selling Navajo Tacos, a local favorite!  Don't want a whole Navajo Taco?  How about a piece of Navajo Fry Bread with butter and honey?  One of my neighbors has had a booth at Peach Days for the last couple of years, it's Cindy's Phillipine Cuisine. I can't get enough of her egg rolls... If you happen to stop by her booth, be sure to tell her I sent you.

It wouldn't be Peach Days without booths selling different peach dishes.  You can find dutch oven peach cobbler, peach smoothies, peach preserves and peach ice cream just to name a few. Of course, there's a Peach Cook-Off! You can also purchase cases of locally grown fresh peaches at Peach Days.

Be sure not to miss the annual Peach Days parade, fiddling contest, rodeo, 12K run and Pioneer Corner. There's always local entertainment throughout the event too.
