The Cox Family's annual herb clearance sale drew large crowds at the Colorado City Farmers Market on Saturday, June 14, featuring approximately 150 varieties of culinary, medicinal, and landscape herbs for local gardeners.
Details of the herb sale
The sale at Cottonwood Park featured a wide selection of plants, with Gelene Cox and her brother Bryan on hand to assist shoppers. The family's tradition of holding a clearance sale was established by Katie Cox to ensure remaining herbs reached local gardens rather than going to waste.
Live music and festive atmosphere
The event included live music from Enterprise, Utah, singer-songwriter Eldon Hunt, who performed original country songs. Gelene Cox noted that holding the sale in conjunction with the farmers market created a festive and pleasant environment for the community.
Cox family nursery history
The Cox family has operated in the nursery business since 1976, providing wholesale supplies to retail nurseries throughout the region. Preparation for the annual sale begins with advertising approximately three weeks in advance, with final plant selections determined by remaining inventory after wholesale orders are fulfilled.
Recent updates from Levan
In Levan, the Town of Levan recently announced several municipal updates, including a job opening for a part-time laborer and an advertisement for bids. The town also made its 2025 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report and Drinking Water Source Protection Plans available for public review.
Changes to parole hearing broadcasts
The Utah Board of Pardons and Parole has maintained an audio-only format for its live hearing broadcasts since March 17, 2025. This change was implemented due to security concerns and the misuse of video recordings in violation of Utah Administrative Code.
Options for observing public hearings
While hearings at the Salt Lake City prison site are available via audio stream, the board continues to allow public observation for those willing to attend in person at the Utah State Correctional Facility. Hearings for individuals at the Central Utah Correctional Facility or within county jails are conducted entirely online.
