Brewfest
When: June 18
Where Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort
Cost: $1.00 per sample
There should be several Utah breweries here to offer samples of 2-3 different kinds of beer for only a dollar a sample. Also, there should be a lot of other fun going on including live music and a father's day BBQ. This sounds like a blast! Don't miss it :)
**This Weeks Outdoor Fun Suggestion**
This weekend is again going to be another fantastic forecast. Let's make sure we all get out and take advantage of it!
SWIMMING
Cost: free, if you can find a friend with a pool.
All of us that have access to a pool, be it our apartment, condo or home... let's all promise to offer to take some friend's swimming this week/weekend. This is a fun way to get together with some friends, and enjoy some free fun. If you don't have a pool you can usually gain access to community pools at a fair price.
If you want to make a day of it, go a little early and get a good spot. If your pool allows it, pack a cooler with some food and drinks for the kids and yourself. Just don't forget to use sunblock and drink a lot of fluids if you're going to be out in the sun :)
**This Weeks Indoor Suggestion**
Just in case you cannot get out due to transportation or any other reason I can think of, it's always good to have something to do at home to break the monotony.
Game Night
Cost: as little or as much as you want!
Everyone has at least a deck of cards in your house. If doing this as a family activity, get some snacks and a couple board or card games and gather your family around a table, throw on some music and have a great time :)
If doing this as a gathering with other friends, still get some snacks... but you can also try to do some drinking games(plug: drink responsibly). There are tons of games you can play using dice, cards, or even movies. Go ahead and Google them if you think this is something you might be interested in.
**Local Business Suggestion for the Week**
Seven Peaks Waterpark
When: This Weekend
Where: : Seven Peaks Waterpark
Cost: Regular Admission is astronomical at 24.95 per person. Under three is free... However, if you visit a Utah Wendy's you can get discount passes! I'm not sure of the entire discount, but I bet it'll be a great deal :) (if anyone does know what the actual discount is, please feel free to share that information in the comments section.)
Please be prepared that you will also have to pay for tubes if you want them, and I've also heard that parking can at times be a paid service as well. This place is notorious for trying to bleed you dry, so normally I wouldn't suggest it - but if you're going to go, now is the best time with the discount passes at Wendy's.
