Hours: M-F 9am - 6pm; Sat 10am - 5pm

Dixie Rocks & Fossils is participating in this year's St George Gingerbread House Parade. The gingerbread house will be on display from Monday, November 30th through Saturday, December 12th. Come in and have a look at it and vote for it! It will be made by the volunteer baking team led by Heidi Orr, head chef over at the Beehive Cottages.



I also recommend shopping the store for some colorful rocks, gems, and more while you are here.

The quality, selection and prices are great. The store owner Kyle is so nice and the vibe is great at the store. I especially loved being greeted by the big mural painted across the wall. It was painted by a local high school student! The store also sells some items on behalf of local entrepreneurs. I have a selection of photos that I captured in the store. It really is like a "candy" store, the colorful rocks are a sight to behold. I know I'm not the only one excited by rocks for the mere fact that rocks shops exist 😀 















The St George Gingerbread House Parade has been greatly supported by 

Jody Koch, Utah's Premier Realtor

And as pictured, they have a cute little gelato and candy shop next door.  I have visited several times and I will tell you a little about what I have tried and like.  A sweet selection of lollies! This is the hot chocolate! Who wouldn't like it served like this?! Everything they serve looks incredible and the taste is...

Graduation: 4 years of Gingerbread Parade

Image
  For the last four years I have organized the St George Gingerbread House Parade. And this year, I declare that I have graduated from it. Yippee! I will from here on out be supporting the Jubilee of Trees.  This year I plan to make one Christmas Wreath and one Gingerbread House for charity to raise funds for St George Regional Hospital. I totally get it that a lot of people think that the hospital doesn't need our charity because they got money and we lowly people don't. But, let's try to reason why it's good for the community. Because of the philanthropy of the community, it benefits us. The hospital can expand and bring needed services to the area keeping the costs down for us. You can read more about that here: Foundation/Jubilee of Trees. So, what I am doing is shutting down the nonprofit status of St George Gingerbread House Parade and any remaining funds in the business account will be distributed to a nonprofit in the area as per the rules of the Articles of Inc...
