Upcoming Activities

Next Saturday, July 30th is a Christmas in July event at the District. Many stores will be giving away 'free' stuff if you bring in a can of food. I'm excited about Chick-Fil-A, Marble Slab, and Red Robin! Check out the website with the above link to see all participating merchants.



Also, August brings the Two Buck Tuesdays at Thanksgiving Point. Farm Country, Museum of Ancient Life and Thanksgiving Point gardens - all $2/person. Now, which one do we choose this year???

Free Theatre and Museum Tickets

This Saturday, September 25, you can print a ticket to get two people into select museums for free. Check out this link to print the ticket and see which museums are participating. [Our family LOVES the America West Heritage Museum in Wellsville/Logan. It is like Deseret Village at This Is the Place State Park and in my opinion, is worth the drive. But if that's too far to drive, there are a few museums in SLC, including the Utah Museum of Natural History.]


Check out this link to get two free tickets to a theater performance on Thursday, Oct 14th. There are a number of different shows available and tickets can be reserved starting September 28 at 11am. Enjoy!


A BIG thanks to Cherish for sharing this info!

Free Activities

Here are a few upcoming FREE activities that you might want to consider . . .

Kennecott Copper Bingham Canyon Mine Visitors Center is free July 16 - July 25. It is normally $5 per passenger vehicle. If you've never been, it's quite interesting. They show a short video, have displays in their visitors center and huge tires you can stand next to. It is mind-boggling how large their equipment is.

There are also some fun activities surrounding the Days of 47 events.

July 17th Youth Parade and Festival - [some of our cub scouts will be marching in this parade]
The parade is at 10 and the festival follows it until 2:00 at Washington Square City/County building downtown.

Days of 47 Float Preview at South Towne Expo Center - July 19, 20 from 11am-9pm
Great opportunity to see and vote for the floats that will be in the July 24th parade (and it's air conditioned!) Our stake even has a float this year, so go and vote for ours!

Snowbird Customer Appreciation Days

If you bring in a can of food (one per person) you can ride the Snowbird Tram for free on Saturday, October 31 and Saturday, November 7 from 11am - 5pm (weather permitting). We have gone in years past and there is a wait in line to ride the tram (probably at least 20-45 minutes). They are packed pretty full, but you get a great view from the top. I took 6 boys last year and they all thought it was worth it.
