The Iron County Home Builders Association has a special connection to the Ellsworth House.  Most of the labor and materials were donated by individuals and businesses of Cedar City, including many of our builders, subcontractors and suppliers.  They provided materials, equipment, and labor to help in erecting this valuable Cedar City asset.  It continues to rely on donations for food, supplies, etc., to operate the house for its many visitors.  The association is pleased to be able to continue to help with needed support.

The Benefit Breakfast will be held on Saturday, April 26th, 8am–9am, at the ICHBA’s Spring Home & Garden Fair in the SUU Sharwan Smith Center that weekend.  In partnership with generous sponsors, Chartwells at SUU, Rainbow Sign and Banner,  and the Valley View Medical Center, the Iron County HBA invites its members and the public to come and support this great cause.
