Come join us in sunny St. George!

The EXPO is a great place for beginners to learn the ropes! And for pros to sharpen their skills.

Welcome, welcome, to the Family History Expo. Tell a friend. Bring a friend. And be ready to enjoy the time of your life in St. George! This two-day event is drawing speakers and vendors from all over the U.S. and beyond. It will feature 101 terrific presentations to choose from, more than 50 vendors and exhibitors, and the latest genealogy products and technology. Many free drawings and prizes each day!

February in Southern Utah hints of the beginnings of spring with its sunshine and emerging daffodils and hyacinths. Before or after the event you may wish to enjoy hiking and bike riding in Zion's National Park, Snow Canyon State Park, and the Grand Canyon. Visit real Dinosaur tracks, National Museums, Pioneer Historical sites, and even enjoy an outdoor evening performance at Tuacahn Theater nestled in a red rock canyon. Many attractions await early visitors who want to avoid the summer crowds but still crave fine weather. St. George is also known for its abundance of Hotels, Motels, varieties of Restaurants, Factory Outlets, and other great shopping opportunities.

Lunch will be available for purchase in the exhibit hall, so you won't have to miss a thing. But if you prefer to taste the local fare there are plenty of places to enjoy a fine meal -- or a fast meal!
