Fifteen percent (15%) of funds generated by the one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) sales and use tax levied within Washington County effective April 1, 2015 to fund Recreational, Arts, and Parks (the “RAP Tax”) have been designated by the County Commission for support of cultural activities. The County Commission has established a RAP Advisory Board to oversee the process of receiving applications for funding and making recommendations to the County Commission for approval of disbursements from these funds. These Guidelines have been approved by the County Commission for use by the RAP Advisory Board to administer the funding of cultural organizations throughout the county via the RAP Tax.
The Greater Zion Convention & Tourism Office is a transient-room-tax (TRT)-funded department of Washington County whose mission is to maximize the revenue generated by visitors to create a superior experience for future visitors while ALSO allocating these outside monies back into the community through a self-sustaining system that develops tourism-related trails, venues, and facilities for all to enjoy.

Opening in 1993, Steamroller Copies was born to serve. Founder, Gail Bevans, had been a flight attendant with Pan American Airways serving First Class passengers while also serving on many community boards in Southern Utah. Gail saw the potential to open a family business that all 6 of her children could be part of, and a business to run after her retirement with the airlines. This led to the decision of opening her first Steamroller Copies.
Why “Steamroller”? The Steamroller name came after a trip with her son to New Zealand. Walking down the street in Auckland, Gail and her son saw a large Steamroller repairing a road.
The two were talking about how to open their first print shop. Gail turned to her son and said, “We’ll name it Steamroller and we’ll steamroll the competition with First Class service.” The name remains to this day and Gail’s dream of world class service in a print shop is represented in states all over the nation.
