ST. GEORGE KANAB TOUR RECAP – A FUN AND MEMORABLE DRIVE!

By Reid Smith

Our region to the north, IRPCA, planned a wonderful Memorial Day weekend which included a dinner, drive and wine tasting. And they invited our region. What could be better?

On Saturday evening we had an excellent dinner at Ovation restaurant in St. George, prepared by IRPCA member Jeremy Lawrence, who is the executive chef. Sunday, we met up and headed on a non-interstate route, which took us through Colorado City, and Hilldale UT. Then we took a road less traveled with beautiful scenery skirting the Coral Pink Sand Dunes area. Lunch in Kanab included a wonderful buffet in a rustic atmosphere.

On the way back to St. George we couldn’t resist stopping at the Water Canyon Winery. Owners Shane and Kalie Tooke rolled out the red carpet (and wine) for us. They have developed an excellent product. Their challenge is to produce enough wine for the high demand.

A special thanks to Craig Shanklin and the organizers from northern Utah for inviting us to their well- planned event.
