100 Year Anniversary of Kanab's Historic All Woman Town Council

This year, 2012, is a landmark year for our town. 100 years ago Kanab elected an all woman town council, the first in America! The unprecedented event was even recorded in the London newspapers. But the ladies didn’t run for office for fame, glory or power, they did it for the right reason - to serve their community. Some of the issues they dealt with could be resolved quickly, and many of their concerns are issues we still struggle with today. Elements such as time and resources are common factors then and now.

In a charming vignette, a group of local women portray the historical 1912-14 AWTC as they re-enact events during Kanab’s “Year of Celebration”. The re-enactments are based on historical documents, including the council’s own meeting minutes and from their journals. Current Kanab City Mayor, Nina Laycook interacts with the ladies as they come together for “meeting”.
The actresses are (l-r) Linda Alderman (as Luella McAllister), Dickie Robinson (as Blanche Hamblin), Joyce Rhodes (as Mayor Mary Chamberlain), Judy Habbeshaw (as Tamar Hamblin), and Nayna Christensen (as Ada Seegmiller).
