If you want to protect Utah’s open spaces while enjoying tasty Mexican fare and a silent auction, there’s an event for you this weekend. And if you like to sweat for your activism (or just burn off the calories from the previous night’s fundraiser) to help a local volunteer hospice program, there’s an event for you, too. If you want to see what local government has in mind for a highway bond project, there’s a chair at a public hearing at the Salt Lake County Council with your name on it.
