RhymeFest

Society is exposed to a mainstream Hip Hop culture that is muddied with false riches.

However, it is the underground and independent heads that keep the true riches of Hip Hop alive and well.

We are passionate about all elements of Hip Hop and wish to stay true to its roots of consciousness and empowerment.

To keep the independent culture thriving we want to give the ultimate experience to fans both old and new.

Best Friends Animal Sanctuary Celebrates 40 Years Of Saving Companion Creatures

On any given day, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah is the healing home for up to 1,600 dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, horses, pigs, parrots and other animals. The largest sanctuary of its kind in the U.S., Best Friends has become the heart of a collaborative no-kill movement.

Since it opened on the site of the old Kanab Movie Ranch, the sanctuary has expanded to 3,700 acres of rolling hills where dinosaurs once roamed, and recently opened the Best Friends Roadhouse and Mercantile in town. It offers 40 rooms and suites where pets are not just welcome, but encouraged. No pets?  No problem. With enough advance notice, you can give a local homeless dog or cat a night of company by hosting a sleepover at the roadhouse with a pet from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. All the people food on the property is vegan, and a stay includes two free all-you-can-eat vegan lunch buffet tickets for the property’s Angel Village Café…
