This museum honors the life and art of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth!
Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, a hotroddin’, gear head, mad scientist, and struggling artist who Þnanced his inventions by selling drawings and t-shirts at drag events, fairs, and car shows. Big Daddy Roth would draw cartoons of monsters that he created and pictures of cars, but when he personally airbrushed t-shirts with the monsters driving the cars, people went crazy and would line up at his booth. The most popular Ed “Big Daddy” Roth monster was Rat Fink. Rat Fink started as a drawing that Ed had put on his refrigerator. Roth was a genius at designing cars. The Ed “Big Daddy” Roth Gang included: Rat Fink, Drag Nut, Mother’s Worry, Wild Child, Mr. Gasser and many others. Rat Fink and the gang driving their hot rods have become rock-art icons. Roth's artwork can be found throughout the late 1980’s and mid-1990’s in underground comics produced by Roth. Ed “Big Daddy” Roth passed away on April 4, 2001. Roth’s genius has created a timeless monster. Rat Fink, his Show Cars, and his Monster designs still reach the diverse demographic appeal of young adults today. Rat Fink and the gang will continue into the new millennium capturing a new group of Finks young and old for decades to come.

“Elevate the value of your business, enabling your business to bring our community to new heights.”
The Sanpete County Chamber of Commerce was established in November 2023 to support and promote local businesses. It was founded by a group of business people and owners who are committed to this goal.
Our founders identified a need for local-, regional- and state-level support for businesses in Sanpete. By providing opportunities for businesses to connect with each other and access knowledge, education and resources, local businesses grow and thrive.
OUR VISION
We want to cultivate business growth and development by creating a dynamic and supportive environment for entrepreneurs and business owners. By providing the right resources, information and connections, we can help businesses reach new heights and achieve their full potential.
Our goal is to help businesses thrive in Sanpete by creating an innovative environment that stimulates creativity, ingenuity, collaboration and partnerships with entrepreneurs, businesses and leaders. By equipping businesses with resources and information that help them flourish, we strive to create vibrant communities.
We promote the idea of “shopping local” and encourage our members to network with one another to fulfill each other’s needs.
We are a powerful advocate for business in the community. Through our efforts, we help your voice be heard.
STAND OUT as an active member of the community. We help increase our members’ visibility online and connect them with potential customers who are actively searching for businesses in our area.
We help to establish partnerships between businesses, leaders and educators by providing them with the necessary resources and support.
Providing networking events, advocating for business interests, offering educational opportunities and encouraging residents to shop local — all these and more are part of the mission of a local chamber of commerce.
With these advantages in mind, a group of Sanpete County businesspeople banded together last year to create the new Sanpete County Chamber of Commerce. The organization is now actively growing its membership and offering events where chamber members can network together and support each other as they do business in Sanpete.
“We knew that if we created a chamber, it couldn’t be just for a city,” said Faylyn Warnick, president of the chamber’s board of directors. “We knew we had to include the whole county. We didn’t feel like we could exclude anybody.”
In her job as community development director at CentraCom, Warnick interacts with leaders and businesses in a variety of communities. “As I’ve done that, I’ve felt like Sanpete County businesses were missing out on a
lot of opportunities and information that is filtered from the state level to businesses through the chamber connections,” she said. “I’ve attended chamber meetings in several different places, and they always gave great information and had connections you might not have elsewhere. They also help you advocate for your business and create great networking opportunities. Growing up in Sanpete, I have seen many businesses come and go. I felt like Sanpete County businesses were missing that extra support a chamber of commerce organization gives.”
Warnick serves on the board of the Main Street Committee in Mt. Pleasant, and, during a meeting of that board, the topic of chambers came up. A question was asked: why doesn’t Sanpete County have a chamber?
The answer: let’s create one. Warnick banded together with other local business people, and they created a board. They obtained advice from Abby Ivory, economic development coordinator for the R6 Regional Council, made a business
plan and a budget, and approached the Sanpete County Commission with their idea.
“The County Commission liked our idea and invested $15,000 in seed money in November of 2023,” Warnick said.
Since its organization, the chamber has been holding Lunch & Learn meetings where chamber members can meet and hear from business and government experts. It also sends out informational emails and hold classes and trainings in aspects of business such as marketing, grant writing and business systems. Several representatives have attended the meetings, including Senator Darrin R. Owens, who explained how each person has a voice in what happens on Capitol Hill.
Stephanie Hardy, who was involved with the Ogden-Weber Chamber of Commerce before moving to Sanpete County, was hired as the chamber’s executive director and worked to help the chamber start growing.
Warnick said networking is one of the biggest advantages of belonging to a chamber. Business owners and representatives can meet, learn about each other’s businesses and potentially help each other with business ideas or leads.
“I think we get in this mindset in Sanpete that we know everybody because we live in small towns, but our communities are growing both with new people and new businesses. Making connections is crucial in business, and collaborating for the greater good is our duty,” Warnick said.
The chamber also lists members on its website, enhancing their presence online. “Due to the algorithms used by Google and other search engines, chambers of commerce typically rank higher in search
results,” Warnick explained. “When businesses have their names listed on our website, it boosts their SEO, enhancing their visibility and supporting their marketing efforts.”
Most importantly, a chamber encourages residents and business owners alike to shop local.
“We’re committed to reinforcing the importance of shopping local because it’s vital to keep our community members spending their dollars here, supporting our local economy and infrastructure,” Warnick emphasized. “We have an abundance of thriving, wonderful businesses right here that can meet their needs, so we strongly encourage everyone to look within their own communities and see how they can shop local.”
Warnick encourages businesses to join the new Sanpete County Chamber of Commerce and see how their chamber can work for them and help their business grow. There are a variety of membership levels, making membership accessible to everyone.
“I’m truly excited to partner with businesses to create a thriving environment here in Sanpete County. I look forward to welcoming them into our expanding community of successful enterprises,” Warnick said.
Why join the Sanpete County Chamber of Commerce? There are many ways your local chamber can help you and your business grow and prosper.
Networking is important for building relationships and finding new opportunities in your field. Connecting with others allows you to create collaborations and find room for growth. We connect local businesses for mutual benefit.
Advocacy empowers individuals and communities to bring about positive change and influence decision-making processes. We represent members’ interests to local governments and other organizations.
Enhanced visibility can boost brand recognition, leading to more growth opportunities and a wider range of possibilities. Get promoted through our marketing channels, including directories and social media.
Business education is crucial for critical thinking, creativity, innovation and better decision-making in the workplace, leading to increased productivity and success. Through chamber membership, access seminars, workshops and training sessions on marketing, finance and business management.
Industry insights are essential for businesses to make informed decisions and remain competitive in the marketplace. Stay updated and competitive with access to current industry news, trends and insights.

Sanpete County is slowly growing as people discover its unique rural way of life and the surrounding natural beauty� The 2020 U�S� Census put the county’s population at 28,437; the Kem C� Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah estimated the county’s population at 30,346 as of July 1, 2023, a 6�7% increase� Seventy percent of the growth occurring between July 1, 2022, and July 1, 2023, occurred because of people migrating to the area�
Sanpete County straddles the Colorado Plateau and the Great Basin. On the east, creeks on the eastern slopes of the high Wasatch Plateau drain into the Colorado River system.
Sanpete’s earliest inhabitants include Fremont farmers. Archaeologists have discovered mounds that Fremont people left behind. As they dug, they discovered small stoneand mud-walled structures as well as pottery, points and metates.
The Utes came after the Fremont people. The San Pitch Utes gathered and hunted in local marshes and canyons.
Other Utes acquired horses from the Spanish. These, often led by Ute chief Wakara, captured and sold San Pitch Indians into slavery. They also adopted parts of the Plains Indians culture, and they rode throughout the West. Some of these had a winter base camp in Sanpete.

The first settlers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints arrived in fall 1849. They chose the Manti site because of a nearby warm spring, the large limestone quarries where they could cut stone for buildings and the fine farming and grazing lands nearby.
Wakara invited the Church of Jesus Christ members to settle in Sanpete. Perhaps he thought they would help his people gain more resources or be good trading partners.
A few years later, Wakara was fighting the settlers in the Walker War of 1853-54. During this time, the settlers abandoned their new homes or built forts for protection.
Sanpete was also hit hard by the Black Hawk War of 1865-68, which brought a more serious and prolonged period of guerrilla raids.
The larger towns were established during the first decade of settlement. Scandinavian immigrants soon made up a lot of the population, and elements of their culture and humor remain today.
A Presbyterian missionary established the Wasatch Academy in the 1870s; today, it still thrives as a college prep school.
The towns peaked in population from about 1900 to 1910 and declined until the 1970s.
Since settlement, Sanpete’s economy has been agriculturally based. In its first few decades, it served as Utah’s granary.
Cattle have always been important, but currently only a few large dairies survive. New beef breeds from Switzerland and France have joined the traditional Hereford and Angus to produce lower-fat, faster-growing animals.
Sheep dominated the local economy from the 1880s through the 1920s, and Sanpete played a prominent part in world markets for a time.
Turkeys, grown casually as a farmyard fowl, became a cooperative, integrated industry in response to the 1930s depression.
Snow College, a two-year institution with its main campus in Ephraim, plays an important role in the local economy.
Sanpete County has worked on developing heritage tourism to complement its rural nature. It collaborated with other counties to gain a federal designation as the National Mormon Pioneer Heritage Area.

Ephraim’s Scandinavian Heritage Festival is turning 50 in 2025, and the festival is seeking information and photos related to its history as part of its planning for a big anniversary celebration.
“Next year will be our 50th anniversary, and so we are already prepping and planning for that,” said Amanda Hansen, the festival’s director and events coordinator for Ephraim City.
The festival was originally organized as a fundraiser to pay for a new roof for the Ephraim Co-op Building on Main Street. The money was raised and the roof was redone, but the festival continued. Currently, the Scandinavian Festival attracts about 20,000 people every year to its events.
“It ended up being such a fun tradition, they kept doing it, and it kind of morphed into what it is today,” Hansen said. “It’s been gradually moved up (from the co-op building) to Snow College because it’s grown every year.”
The festival ran for many years due to the efforts of volunteers, and while Ephraim City took on responsibility for the festival several years ago, volunteerism is still a big part of the event, with some committee members having put in many years
of service. Snow College has been a generous host and partner in helping to grow the festival over the years.
Overall, the festival is a celebration of Sanpete County’s history and the people who settled here.
“I feel like it’s a unique festival in that it’s really celebrating the heritage of the people who settled this valley, where they came from, who they were, the hard work they put into this beautiful valley we live in,” Hansen said. “We’re the beneficiaries of their hard work and sacrifice. A lot of us have direct heritage and descend from this Scandic people.”
Those planning on attending the 2025 festival can look forward to some changes being made as part of the 50th anniversary celebration.
“I feel like it’s a great year to boost the festival and give it a fresh feel and grow it a little bit because it’s the 50th anniversary, so it’s such a great opportunity for me to bring something more to the festival and help it grow,” Hansen said.
Annually, the festival includes athletic events, Scandinavian games, food and craft vendors, a wifecarrying contest, a beard contest, a parade and musical entertainment. Also iconic to the festival are its Crafters Village and Viking Village areas.
“I’d like to grow those (villages) this year,” Hansen said, adding that she envisions creating the look of an old traditional Scandinavian village within the Crafters Village. “I want to do the same thing with the Viking Village. I’d like to build it out and make it kind of an adventure…. I’d like to have them walk into the Viking Village and have them go on a quest” through an activity such as a scavenger hunt.
Hansen also wants to strengthen
the role of Ephraim’s Pioneer Park in the Scandinavian Festival. “I believe that park is such an integral part of the heritage of this area,” Hansen said. “The pioneer people who moved here were Scandinavians, so we should include the pioneer part of it.”
Hansen said as part of honoring the heritage of the Scandinavian Festival itself, she is searching for information and photos related to the founding and history of the festival so a comprehensive history of the event can be created.
She encouraged anyone with information, stories or photos they would be willing to contribute to this effort to contact her at amanda. hansen@ephraimcity.org.
“We’d like to honor those people who put in the work and got it started and got it happening,” she said. Ultimately, Hansen feels the attraction of the festival is the heritage, the feeling of being part of
Sanpete County and its history.
“I think if you took a survey of who’s coming to the festival, I think the majority are people who have roots here in Sanpete. They’re coming back,” Hansen said. “They’ve moved away, but they all come home for Memorial Day weekend to celebrate this festival with us.
“And people love this valley. If you have a tie here or roots here, there’s something special about being part of the heritage here.”

Lying between two mountain ranges featuring portions of the Manti-La Sal National Forest, the Sanpete Valley is the entryway to an astounding selection of recreational opportunities� Residents have quick access to camping areas, lakes for fishing and boating, scenic drives and trails for hiking, mountain biking and riding ATVs� It’s all just outside your front door here�
A new public bike trail extending from Fairview to Gunnison is in the works in Sanpete County thanks to the efforts of local bike enthusiasts and a $750,000 grant awarded to Spring City through the federal RAISE grant program.
The trail is anticipated to be more than 40 miles long and essentially follow U.S. Highway 89, with a portion of the trail extending into Spring City. A feasibility study will look at alternates to the trail’s primary route as well, depending on public input and estimated costs.
“It would connect all those communities and then, over time, the communities may do some side trails to take people to places of interest around their communities,” said Spring City Mayor Chris Anderson. “But this first phase would be to connect those communities.”
The grant was obtained in 2023 through the RAISE (Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity)
Discretionary Grant program. The money will fund a feasibility study and environmental review of the trail route as well as 30% of the trail’s design, but it will not fund trail construction.
A governmental entity was required to sponsor the RAISE grant application, and Spring City agreed to be that sponsor. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is assisting with administration of the grant.
Jones and DeMille Engineering from Richfield has been hired to perform the feasibility study, which will be completed over the next nine to 10 months. Following the study, the plan is to seek more grant money from other sources to finish the design work and construct the trail.
The State of Utah has a program called the Utah Trail Network through which millions of dollars are available each year to build trails. “The money is there, it exists, and Sanpete
just wants to tap into that pot of funding,” said Jill Colby, founder of the nonprofit organization Cycle Sanpete.
Colby began and has driven the efforts to obtain the grant. She met with representatives of cities throughout Sanpete County and said she found overwhelming support for the project. “People in general are just overwhelmingly enthusiastic and in support of the trail,” she said.
One of the biggest issues faced by bicyclers in Sanpete is safety. Highway 89 has no shoulder, and traffic travels at a high rate of speed.
“The path would be two-way and family friendly, completely separate from the road. It would have layers of protection so it would be very, very safe,” Colby said.
Colby founded Cycle Sanpete after the birth of her daughter a couple of years ago. A bike riding enthusiast herself, Colby wanted to see safer biking routes available to her daughter. Her organization now hosts community bike rides, activities and educational opportunities and advocates for bike paths in the Sanpete area.
Manti resident Keith Steurer said he would love to have a bicycle trail available for riding to his job at Snow College in Ephraim. As an assistant professor of engineering at Snow, Steurer lent his expertise in civil engineering to putting together the RAISE grant application.
“The whole idea is a separate trail, separate from the highway,” Steurer said. “It’s kind of a win-win for the motorists because they’re not having to navigate around the bicyclists and a win-win for the bicyclists because you’re separated from the vehicles traveling at highway speeds.”
Steurer said he believes the trail will be a great asset for the county.
“I think for me, the biggest thing is just giving additional opportunities for recreation, commuting, and I think there’s a good potential for commerce,” he said.
Colby said studies have shown bicycle trails increase revenues for small businesses, adding that bicycles also have the benefit of not filling up limited parking spaces.
“I think it would give new opportunities for people to get to (the Snow College) campus,” Steurer said. “Even just locally within the city of Ephraim, that trail would give students who don’t have a car a lot more options for trying to get to different places within Ephraim or even within the county.”
From a tourism perspective, the trail could provide a destination ride for visitors. Spurs could eventually be added that branched out from the trail and led to other areas such as local canyons or other tourism sites.
“We’re really excited because, you know, Spring City is a beautiful place, it’s a historic place … but to have more for visitors to do when they’re here would be great,” Anderson said.
Jones and Demille Engineering will be conducting public open houses in Sanpete County as part of the trail’s feasibility study where residents will be able to give their input on the planned trail, Colby said. “The more people that come, the better, because they will be heard and their dreams and visions will be considered. It will be part of the planning process,” she said.
Jones and Demille Engineering will also be conducting a public survey for people to offer their input if they can’t make it to the public open houses.

It may not be evident to those traveling along Highway 89, but the Contoy Arena in Mt. Pleasant is one of the busiest locations in Sanpete County.
“We are busy every day,” said Jack Widdison, who manages the arena along with his wife Gaylyn Widdison. “It’s seven days a week, there’s something going on there. It’s never closed, there’s always something going on.”
The arena is part of the Cleone Peterson Eccles Equestrian Center and located at 995 W. 1000 South, Mt. Pleasant. Built 14 years ago, this indoor arena includes bucking chutes and everything else needed to put on a full rodeo. There’s also an indoor warm-up arena.
The Contoy Arena was built on 100 acres of land donated by Mt. Pleasant City. Its construction was funded by donations, including a donation from the ConToy Family Memorial Trust. The trust was established by former Sanpete residents Connie and Toy Hansen
before they passed away. Connie and Toy are the namesakes of the arena.
Over time, other donations, including from the Eccles Foundation, as well as grants have paid for improvements at the arena and equestrian center. No city funds have been used to construct the equestrian center, which is owned by the Rural Development Association.
Today, in addition to the indoor arena, the equestrian center includes an outdoor roping arena, a dressage arena, a show jump arena, a covered stall barn with 76 stalls and about 120 outdoor stalls.
Each of these arenas can serve multiple functions, making the center able to accommodate a wide variety of events. The indoor arena includes a kitchen and an area where tables and chairs can be set up; it has hosted birthday parties, quinceaneras and even weddings.
The arena attracts horse riders from around the nation for a wide variety of competitions and shows while also providing a place where
local riders can practice, compete and learn.
Local 4-H club members practice at the arena weekly, as do mounted shooters and team ropers. Skyline Eventing hosts several events at the arena each year. Wasatch Academy students attend classes at the facility five days a week … and the list goes on.
“This arena is important to this community,” Gaylyn said. “We bring in so many outside people to this little town that support the gas stations, the grocery stores, the restaurants, all of our little stores in this community. Everybody that comes to the arena uses the stores in the town.”
A team roping competition held annually at the arena brings in about 700 teams, and those teams bring their families. Once a year, a state high school rodeo is held at the arena, with hundreds of participants attending from throughout the state of Utah.
“The financial support that this arena brings to this community is unbelievable,” Gaylyn said. “Also, the horse community in this area, they all use the arena.”
Why are so many people attracted to events at the Contoy Arena?
Jack and Gaylyn agree it’s because of the quality of the facility and the amenities it offers.
“It’s an extremely nice facility,” Gaylyn said. “We have people say, ‘We have been to shows all over and this is one of the nicest facilities we come to.’”
An outdoor cross country course located to the south of the arena was designed and built by a nationally certified course designer. “The course is really nice, it’s one of the best in the western United States,” Jack said. In fact, Olympic riders have utilized the course.
The Contoy Arena offers daytime passes for $15, individual yearly memberships at $150, or family memberships for $250 annually. There is option for a six-month membership for winter training. Stalls and RV spots are available for rent at $25 per night. The main hall of the arena is available for rent.
Many events at the Contoy Arena are open to the public. Stay updated on the latest event schedules and entry requirements by visiting Contoy Arena’s Facebook page at facebook. com/ContoyArena or checking the month-by-month calendar on the Mt. Pleasant website (mtpleasantcity. com).
If you’re into rock climbing, chances are you’ve heard of Maple Canyon.
Located seven miles northwest of Moroni, this unique portion of Sanpete County is well known in the climbing world.
“If you go up there on a weekend in the summer, you’ll see license plates
from all over the United States, sometimes Canada,” said Kevin Christensen, director of tourism for Sanpete County. “I’m not sure if people in Sanpete County know how well known it is.”
The key to Maple Canyon’s popularity with climbers is its walls, which are full of “conglomerate” rock.
This type of rock resembles pebbles held in place by cement, and, in Maple Canyon, the pebbles are large, like a vertical cobbled street.
“The unique geologic backstory of Maple Canyon created a landscape that is like a dreamland for climbers. The large cobbles make great handholds, and so climbers of all skill levels strike out for Maple Canyon each year to test their skills on the walls,” states the Natural History Museum of Utah website.
Another unique feature of Maple Canyon is the canyon walls are close together, placing many climbing routes in the shade.
“If you go to a place like Moab in July, that cliff face is out in the sun, and you’re going to bake,” Christensen said. “In July, you come here and there’s so many canyons and crevices that if one gets in the sun, you just go to a different wall.”
The method of rock climbing utilized in Maple Canyon is known as “sport climbing,” Christensen said. According to rei.com, sport climbing involves shorter climbing routes and an emphasis on the physical aspects of the climb rather than the destination or summit.
Every few feet along a climbing
route, an anchor bolt is secured into the rock where climbers can clip their rope. This protects them should they fall, and falling is expected as climbers work out how to traverse difficult parts of a climb.
Christensen said there are hundreds of these climbing routes installed in Maple Canyon. During the winter, ice forms over the cliffs in the canyon, making it a destination for ice climbing as well.
The Manti-La Sal National Forest has a campground for visitors at Maple Canyon. The campground is small and does tend to fill up.
Maple Canyon’s popularity has made parking in the area a challenge. However, through the efforts of Sanpete County and the U.S. Forest Service, a new large parking lot was created last June near the climbing area.
This new lot will help alleviate parking problems in the summer and is also hoped to improve canyon accessibility in the winter by providing a place for snow plows to turn around. In the past, plows were unable to clear the canyon road because they could not turn around, requiring ice climbers to hike in from the canyon’s base, Christensen said.
Hundreds of miles of trails wind through the mountains of eastern Sanpete County, providing a perfect playground for off-highway vehicles and a major tourism attraction for the area.
Together, these routes are known as the Arapeen Trail.
“As you explore this relaxing expanse, breathtaking aspen and conifer forests will surround you, and mountain lakes and awe-inspiring scenic vistas will amaze you,” states arapeentrail.com. “This hidden gem offers wildlife viewing, fishing, fresh mountain air and an invigorating sense of freedom.”
“The Arapeen Trail has over 600 miles of trails that are networked together. It connects all the towns,” said Kevin Christensen, director of
tourism for Sanpete County. The trail can be easily accessed through various canyons extending from Fairview to Mayfield.
This easy access is unique; it is rare to find a location like Sanpete where OHV owners can park their vehicles at a motel, stay overnight, then board their OHVs right in the motel parking lot the next morning and head up the nearest canyon to the trail.
As a high-mountain trail, the Arapeen Trail is mainly accessible in the summer and early fall. “The best time to ride is July, August and September,” Christensen said.
However, the county is seeing an increase in the popularity of riding the trail during the last two weeks of September when the leaves are changing color, he said.
According to market research, the people enjoying the Arapeen Trail tend to be empty nesters who are age 50 or older. This makes sense as
people in this demographic are more likely to own their own side-by-side vehicles.
“Currently, there are five sponsored ATV jamborees (in the Sanpete area) and they target to the older crowd. The ones who will stay in a motel, eat at a restaurant, that’s the people we want to come,” Christensen said. These jamborees offer an opportunity for visitors to enjoy guided rides on the trail.
Christensen said the county is beginning to promote winter use of the Arapeen Trail system in order to bring more tourists into the area during the winter season. A total of about 23 miles of groomed trails are now available in Ephraim Canyon during the winter.
Information about the trail itself, local lodging, UTV rental options and more is available at arapeentrail. com, and maps with compete information about trail points of interest, fishing locations, trail difficulty and more are available for purchase at the website.
Despite not being located on a major freeway route, Sanpete County is growing, and it has the resources and infrastructure in place to grow as much — or as little — as this rural county would like�
“Sanpete is one of the best counties in Central Utah. It’s really great,” said Abby Ivory, economic development coordinator for the R6 Regional Council (formerly known as the Six County Association of Governments).
The R6 council assists its six member counties — Sanpete, Juab, Millard, Sevier, Wayne and Piute — in a variety of areas, including regional community and economic development planning, infrastructure planning and
funding, hazard mitigation, small business financing and lending, regional transportation planning and grant distribution.
“Sanpete is poised well for managed growth,” Ivory said, meaning that if cities here want to grow, they are well prepared to do it. Conversely, if cities or towns want to remain small and rural, they are positioned well to do that also.
Job growth is continuing in the county this year, albeit at a slower rate than 2023. “We’re still seeing
people creating companies,” Ivory said. “We’re still seeing people applying for grants, starting companies.”
Overall, the county has a variety of strengths that make it a good choice for businesses, whether they’re new businesses starting up in the county, existing businesses expanding their operations or companies relocating from elsewhere. Some of its strengths include:
Continued on Page 52
Excellent government leadership� “We’ve got great leadership,” Ivory said. “It’s run very well, both on the county level and the city level.’
A hard-working, educated workforce. Sanpete County has an outstanding workforce that is welleducated, meaning companies can expect high-level results from their workers.
For example, an internationally owned company with locations throughout the United States decided to expand its Gunnison location — instead of its other locations — due to the high level of production it was experiencing in Gunnison.
“That’s money being invested in our county because they saw that the workers were great,” Ivory said.
A high quality of life� Sanpete County has a rural atmosphere
while also offering world-class recreational options and excellent educational opportunities.
“I think that Sanpete has a lower cost of living, which is attracting companies,” Ivory said. Land here is less expensive than along the Wasatch Front. “The quality of life is really great here …. It’s very attractive to a lot of people,” she said.
for small businesses�
The culture in Sanpete has communities and businesses supporting each other and their local efforts. In addition, there are a variety of resources available to assist small businesses from the State of Utah, from the R6 Regional Council, from local municipalities, from the new Sanpete County Chamber of Commerce and elsewhere.
“We consciously look at making sure that when we do things, we aren’t going to push out small businesses,” Ivory said.
Working remote� More people who work remotely have been moving to Sanpete so they can enjoy the quality of life here. With high-tech internet connectivity, the county is an excellent choice for these workers, and the R6 council is trying to find more ways to support those workers, Ivory said.
A new chamber of commerce�
“I’m a big fan of chambers of commerce,” said Ivory, who formerly ran a chamber in Nephi. “They offer resources to help you be a better business” as well as opportunities for networking with other business representatives and owners, she said.
They also advocate for business at the city, county and state level and help businesses increase their visibility in the community.
The creation of the new Sanpete County Chamber of Commerce will be a boon to the Sanpete area, she said. “I’m actually thrilled because the businesses in Sanpete County needed something to join them together, to help them rally around each other and help support each other, and I think this is what they needed, a chamber of commerce,” she said.
Jason and Sarah Mardell lived in the Salt Lake City area for years before deciding to return to the place where Jason grew up: Sanpete County.
That decision led them to a new career path: owning their own restaurant. One venture led to another, and they are now the owners of two casual restaurants and a new sit-down restaurant while also operating a small coffee shop, all in Sanpete County.
“We decided that we were done with the city and we wanted to try the country life,” Sarah said. “Jason actually managed a Pizza Hut for a long time …. The funny thing is, when he left Pizza Hut, he said he was never going to be in the restaurant business again.”
Their first location, the Corner Station Deli in Fairview, opened in 2017. Next was the Roots 89 Grill in Spring City, which they opened in 2019. The Mardells took over operations of The Coffee House in Mt. Pleasant this year in collaboration with Wasatch Academy, and, in May, their full-service, sit-down restaurant known as Roots 89 Road House opened in Ephraim.
All of these ventures operate under the business name Mardell Kitchen, as does their catering operation.
“I love it just because it feels like we’re building something as a family. We have really, really done the work, like sacrificed so many things,” Sarah said.
The name Roots 89 honors Jason’s many relatives who have lived in communities throughout Sanpete County for decades — thus, roots along Highway 89.
Jason loves to cook, and he and the Mardells’ daughter Jocelyn take care of the food side of the business along with Sarah’s mom Sharlene Rubin, who also lives in the Sanpete area. Sarah oversees the financials, marketing and other operational aspects of the business.
Another daughter, Adriana, works in the deli, and their 9-year-old daughter Olivia will most likely be joining the family workforce soon.
“I think one of the most important values you can teach your kids these days is hard work … and so we really instill that into them at a young age,” Sarah said.
When the Mardells first moved
to Sanpete County, their home in Fairview was located near a historic building that formerly housed an auto service station. They saw potential in the location and talked with the owner about converting half of the building into a deli while the owner ran a gift shop in the other half.
“In the beginning, we just started from scratch, like we did not know how this was going to go,” Sarah said. “We really started at ground zero with all of it.”
The Corner Station Deli, located at 111 S. State, Fairview, did well; Sarah credits its success to an emphasis on fresh, good food. For the first few years, they rented the space, then eventually purchased the building. They were considering opening a second deli location when they came across a restaurant location for sale at 76 S. Main in Spring City. The decision was made to convert this space into a casual burger restaurant, again with an emphasis on fresh, delicious food. This location became the Roots 89 Grill. When they purchased the deli building, they also bought a nearby historic building that they used as a storage area. As their business grew, they decided to convert it into a commercial kitchen so they could expand their catering business. They now provide catering for events such as weddings, family reunions, school events and corporate functions.
Earlier this year, the Mardells began running a small coffee shop on the Wasatch Academy campus; the academy ran it for a long time, but approached the Mardells about taking over operations. It is also located in a historic building.
“We love using old buildings,
Jocelyn Mardell
revitalizing old buildings that are no longer used for their original purpose but that we can use for the restaurants,” Sarah said.
In the summer of 2023, they came across a location in Ephraim that had potential. It had a kitchen, but it was old and would need upgrading. With Ephraim projected to grow in the future, they saw it as an opportunity and got to work.
“We spent about nine months getting it all ready. It was a lot of work,” Sarah said. The family operated their food truck in the parking lot of the restaurant for a while.
The location, which formally opened in May, is now a sit-down, full-service, diner-type restaurant called the Roots 89 Road House. “We’ve done well there so far. we’ve had a lot of good feedback, we have a really good team in there,” Sarah said.
Overall, the family is focused on providing the same high-quality food and customer service at all of their locations. They love running their business in the small-town communities of Sanpete.
“What I feel excited about is our future because I feel like we’ve made it this far, because that’s pretty far for a restaurant business. We’re on our eighth year and now I feel like we can just focus on what we do really well,” Sarah said.
More than 120 years ago, three Sanpete County farmers created a phone company in Fairview in an attempt to improve communication in and out of the county.
Today, that company, CentraCom, provides modern communication services to residents throughout Sanpete and beyond, making cutting-edge technology available to even the most rural corners of the county.
“They started a phone company because the Bell (telephone) company wouldn’t extend service into Fairview because it wasn’t cost-effective for them,” said Nate Palmer, vice president of marketing for CentraCom.
The founders of CentraCom sold the company to the Cox family in 1919, and it’s been a family-owned business ever since. With its main office in Fairview, its services currently include high-speed internet, digital cable TV and phone systems.
The company employs about 200 people and serves customers not only Sanpete County but also Sevier, Millard, Rich and Utah counties as well as West Wendover, Nevada.
“The culture of this company has always been to build the community and support it in any way it can,” Palmer said.
CentraCom has undergone a major expansion effort within the last 20 years. In 2005, it purchased the Precis Communications cable television system in Sanpete and Sevier counties, launching its cable TV service and expanding its internet service. The purchase included an extensive fiber optic network.
Later, CentraCom purchased the Precis system in West Wendover, Nevada, and Comcast Inc. systems in Nephi, Fillmore and Delta.
During the last five years, the company has focused on installing fiber optic lines throughout Sanpete County and in its other service areas. All the cities in Sanpete from Manti north now have a city-wide fiber network, Palmer said.
“It’s been a major, major investment in getting that into all of our communities,” Palmer said.
In fact, CentraCom currently has one of the largest fiber optic network in Utah. It is also the leading provider of high-capacity internet circuits.
In some ways, Sanpete County residents are better connected than those of urban communities because of the willingness of a local company to invest in the growth of business and residential access, Palmer said.
Reliable, high-speed internet is important for local businesses and for the growing number of people working at home. “With this type of an infrastructure, they can now find those jobs and not have to leave the county,” Palmer said. “We’re seeing a lot of that, we’re seeing a lot of remote, work-from-home type of workers. Covid kind of started that and it continues to grow.”
CentraCom can provide even the most isolated homes in Sanpete with high-speed internet through a service called CentraWave (fixed wireless) that involves a dish attached to the house and aligned with a tower to provide a stable connection.
“We invest heavily in Sanpete County. We try to make sure that there are good-paying jobs and families are taken care of,” Palmer said.
