National Parks are an American invention, and we are pleased once again to host a blockbuster exhibit in St. George. The Arts for the Parks competition was created in 1986 by the National Park Academy of the Arts, in cooperation with the National Park Foundation. The program is designed to celebrate representational artists, enhance public awareness of the National Parks, and to contribute to programs benefiting the National Park System as well as the public. Each year jurors review over 2000 entries of artwork that depict areas governed by the National Park Service. One hundred artworks are selected to travel throughout the Nation including for the first time ever, the City of St. George Art Museum, and catalog of this exhibit is available for purchase in the Museum Store. So go on a trip and bring your friends and family to visit a wide variety of the wonderful wonders of our nation, as well as paintings by Wallace Lee who for many years exhibited paintings in the Arts for the Parks show. Through the kindness of Joan Lee and the acquisition fund of the St. George Art Museum, we will feature art that is both on loan and acquired, as well as generous gifts of Wallace and Joan Lee. The interactive Family Discovery Center and the new Adult Study Center will be educational additions to these exhibits, along with other media features.

The state of Utah, with its gorgeous natural scenery and winding routes, is a match made in heaven for performance vehicles. With the first ever Utah Fast Pass on July 30 - Aug. 2, 2006, the Utah Highway Patrol and the new Miller Motorsports Park have created an opportunity for performance vehicle owners to experience the state, and their vehicles, as they never have before. The Utah Fast Pass is a three-day drive on Utah's most scenic roads, and the event is designed to showcase the rare "super cars" of yesterday and today, while also giving drivers the chance to sample some of the state's finest restaurants, resorts and national parks. The drive begins and ends at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele Just 25 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport. • The spectacular Utah Fast Pass route will travel through four national forests, the Uintah Indian Reservation, the Grand-Staircase Escalante National Monument, and even into Capitol Reef National Park for a fine dinner under the stars. On day three, Utah Fast Pass will move to a closed section of highway, where they will get the chance to speed. The Utah Highway Patrol will be there to clock the cars, and their speeding "tickets" will go to charity. Finally, The cars will arrive back at Miller Motorsports Park, where they will get lap time on the 4.5-mile road course. For a super finish, there's a grand gala dinner and auction where patrons will sport black-tie and denim. Auction proceeds will benefit the Honoring Heroes Foundation of the Utah Highway Patrol.
