George Kendall has been selected as the Grand Marshal for the 70th Annual Ute Stampede Western Parade. His selection comes as a special honor. In 1901, celebrating Nephi's 50th anniversary, his Great-grandfather George W. Kendall was Grand Marshal of the Parade.

George was born and raised in Nephi. He moved to Levan in 1948. He enjoys horses and has been riding all his life.
