How to Rage Against the Machine
A Spirited Debate
If nothing scares you more than monster homes, the Salt Lake City District 3 candidate debate may be for you. For something less weighty, consult a pet psychic while raising money for an animal shelter or or make a canned goods donations to ring in the Day of the Dead, and get treated Rico’s style.
District 3 Candidate Debate
Friday, Oct. 30
The District 3 City Council race has come down to finalists Stan Penfold (longtime head of the Utah AIDS Foundation) and Phil Carroll (former director of Salt Lake Community Housing Services). Friday, voters, political junkies, and restless ghouls can hear the candidates throwdown, rhetorically, over monster homes, parking and more.
Hinckley Institute of Politics, 246 S. Central Campus Drive, Room 253, Oct. 30, 1 p.m., 801-581-8501, Hinckley.Utah.edu
Pet Psychic Fair

Do you need to know what the future holds for your favorite animal companion? Or maybe, you simply want to connect with your dog, cat, bird or ferret on a truly transcendental level.
