Valentine’s Day Dinner and Dance

Valentine’s Day originated as a Christian feast day, honoring one (or two) early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine and, through later folk traditions, has become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world. Valentine’s Day exploded in popular culture beginning in the 1840s in the UK and the USA. We will be filling the Ballroom with hearts and lots of love as we celebrate Valentine’s Day on Tuesday, February 14th, starting at 5:30pm. We will celebrate with a delicious menu of Prime Rib, Mashed Potatoes, Garden Salad, House-made Bread, Chocolate Covered Strawberries, and Nut Cookies. We are also excited to welcome back Reciprocity, who will fill the Ballroom with your favorite tunes and get your feet in the dancing mood. Thank you, Reciprocity! This event is not just for couples; it’s also a fun place to come with friends and enjoy the evening. Don’t delay on your website tickets; this event will fill up quickly!

Presidents Day Holiday

Presidents Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February each year. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, the holiday became popularly known as Presidents Day after it was moved as part of the 1971 Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Lincoln, and other figures, Presidents Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. Presidents, past and present. On Monday, February 20th, PMP will be celebrating this holiday. This, in turn, creates a few schedule changes to allow for staff to be home with their families. Please note that there will not be any fitness classes or food trucks, the Poolside Café will be closed, and there will be limited holiday staffing from 9am-5pm. Please also remember that all guests must be checked in during staffed hours, which includes both the Craft Bunker and the Sports Courts.

Mayor Randall’s State of City Address

Mayor Michele Randall is scheduled to speak on February 7th at 3pm in the Garden Room of the Dixie Center. Two great events in one day, but thankfully they are in the same location.

It Is Time for the Parade of Homes

The Parade of Homes tours will be held February 17th-26th this year. Homes are open from 10am-7pm daily, and socks must be worn in the homes. So don’t arrive in your flip flops! The St. George Parade of Homes is the largest in the state, featuring 30 new homes to view. This event has been a long-standing tradition for many who live in Southern Utah and for many who travel to town to warm up from up north. This is a fun way to look for ideas for your own home, but also brings many visitors to town. Be prepared for an increase in traffic on the roads, as well as very long lines at the local restaurants. Our neighboring community, the Villas at SunRiver, has a home in the Parade this year, so there will be increased traffic along the SunRiver Parkway and Arrowhead Canyon Drive. Want to view the homes, but don’t feel like heading into the crowds? There are also virtual tour options that will be available starting on February 22nd through March 31st. you can purchase tickets at https:// paradehomes.com/web/tickets/buy/?code=suhba .
