The Vermilion Cliffs are wonderful and show their beautiful colors along Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. This is where many Western Movies have been filmed. There are many wilderness areas near the area where the hiking and photo taking are incredible.

There is currently a Paria Movie Set Reconstruction Project Fund Raiser taking place.

Sheldon Honey of Honey’s Jubilee grocery store presenting David and Marilyn DeVooght a check for $610 from a taco dinner that Honey’s had put together.

It has been almost one year since arsonists burned the reconstructed buildings at the Paria Movie Canyon to the ground. The Reconstruction of the Paria Movie Set is being met with great enthusiasm and support from the Managers of the GSENM, the Kane County Office of Tourism and the community. To provide security we are proposing a 6 unit campground near the site with a campground host. Dave has contacted the Kane County Building Inspector and recommendations have been made by Tom Avant, Engineer for Thebeau Construction on reinforcing the foundation to meet code. The community needs a set that can be used for actual movies, Robert Houston has agreed to organize the volunteer work force and Dennis Judd has agreed to help any way he can. Dave DeVooght has proposed 6 buildings, three of which will be on skids so they can be moved on site. The film commission has recently been contacted to do a movie at the Paria Set, but the county could not offer a usable set.

Contributions can be made to Paria Movie Set Reconstruction Fund at Zions Bank, 41 E. Center Street, Kanab, Utah 84741 or Paria Movie Set Reconstruction Fund, 515 S. 475 E. Kanab, Utah 84741.
