WELCOME TO NEPHI, THE FREINDLY CITY IN JUAB COUNTY

Nephi was and remains the friendly city at the crossroads of the west, and Juab is still the Key County of Utah. We want to advertise that, and yet we don't want folks to move here and destroy us! The attached pamphets are old, but so are the families that have been here since 1851. Some locals think we may not be as friendly as we used to be, as some of our move in's refuse to understand or appreicate our history and culture, eventhough they have been here for years! The vision of Nephi is to be rural, and many hope we don't become like the overpopulated rural towns of the big cities that politicians; realtors and money muckers are shoving down our throat, or so it has been told to me. In the 1950's and 60's we could walk and hike almost anywhere; ride bikes and horses, but it ain't quite what it used to be and reluctanly convinced retired folks not to move here because of noise issues. It is no longer quiet and peaceful, but invite good business' and people, rather than the cream of the crude and the gang mentality of high density cities.Tourist and visitors complain we need higher class motels and more American food resturants, although some business people want more illegal aleins to work for them, rather than to hire locals. Some leaders agree, but the fight continues with lawmakers, who are said to be more in getting rid of water for farmers and build people on people and be like one city slicker who told me they could roll down their bathroom window and shake hands with his neighor(using left hands only). We have therefore, threw in some suggestions. 

1.Visit the DUP musem which contains three floors of history and Butch Cassidys bunk next door.

2. Bring kids to the ballparks where hundreds gather for tournaments, but take your trash out with you.

3. Safely drive from Payson to Nephi on the Loop Road and take in a game of golf.

4. Tour Juab's West Desert and find joy in Joy. Newbies will learn to enjoy the serenity of sagebrush.

5. Study the old pamphets and discover and maintain walking paths; rodeos; plays and fine arts.

6. Turn off the TV News and discover things yourself, without talking gizmos. Volunteer to help.

7. Register to Vote and throw out selfish politicans that want to bastardize our rual area.

8. Help stop Nephi being a hub for drug dealers by supporting law enforcement.
