Things are heating up this spring. Lots going on for Atara residents, who have access to all Desert Color Events and Amenities throughout the year. The nearby town of St. George also serves as a “home away from home” for residents at Atara. Here’s a few things going on in April.
Dixie Power Kite Festival
Saturday, April 6
10am – 7pm
(Utah Tech University)
This is always a fun time for kids and parents alike—better still, it’s for a great cause. The Kite Festival is held each April and is designed to promote reading as a habit and encourage students to engage in family-oriented physical activity. Qualifying students earn a high-quality kite or age-appropriate book for their reading efforts. Come on out and have a big time, for an even bigger cause.
