CEDAR CITY — Frontier Homestead State Park, in partnership with Cedar City Corporation, will celebrate the founding of Cedar City this weekend with a day of hands-on activities designed to honor the spirit of the community and those that created opportunities for growth.

Pioneer activities, crafts for kids and living history demonstrations will be available. Among the highlights, Sheriff Shawn will be showcasing his gun-spinning skills, and living history demonstrators will be highlighting frontier medicine and Civil War-era weapons.
