Bill and Debbie Grimm: A Legacy of Service in Iron County
Bill and Debbie Grimm have called Iron County home for the past 34 years, accomplishing more in that time than many do in a lifetime. They raised five children, all proud graduates of Parowan High School, and are now the grandparents of 20.
Bill had a deep love for working with youth. For over 40 years, he taught horsemanship skills through 4-H, competitive showing, and trail rides. He also served as a leader in the Boy Scouts of America, where he taught the leatherworking merit badge. Whatever Bill took on, he gave it his all—whether that meant helping with his wife’s many volunteer projects, painting soccer lines, picking up donkeys, building exhibit display boards, or designing sets and props.
Debbie is a lifelong creative spirit. For over 30 years, she has designed costumes for Community Theater, high school productions, the Literary Arts Club, and the Cedar City Library. She has coached youth in soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, and 4-H. In Scouting, Debbie received the District Award of Merit and was honored as an Influential Woman in Scouting for her many years of service. She has sung in the community choir, volunteered with the high school band, and overseen exhibits and ticketing for the Iron County Fair. Her work at Parowan High School included roles as a custodian, classroom aide, ticket taker, drama competition auditor, lunch duty supervisor, and scorekeeper.
Together, Bill and Debbie have shaped countless lives through their dedicated volunteer work. Though they moved to Parowan years ago, they immersed themselves so fully into the community that it has always felt like home. To many, they are the heart of Parowan.
Join us for a parade full of excitement, inspiration, and unforgettable memories—because your next great adventure starts right here at the Iron County Fair!
