Happy Holiday! Attached is a list of events happening around the state as compiled by the Salt Lake Tribune. But here's a bonus tip: Morgan County (east of Ogden) has one of the best small town celebrations including a parade, a visit from the famous Big Boy steam engine train, and the annual Cardboard Regatta with people in boats made out of cardboard attempting to float the Weber River. Yes, really. However you celebrate Independence Day, travel safe and show a little love to Utah! https://lnkd.in/gYJDgtvm https://lnkd.in/gn9Q9t8w

How many of Utah's Scenic Byways have you explored? Many of them will get you off of the "beaten path" and into the lesser-known parts of Utah. They span deserts, mountains, and connects cities and small towns. Check out a directory here: https://lnkd.in/g-YXUSMi

Congratulations to Green River, Utah! They now have funding to conduct a feasibility study to explore the possibilities of building a convention center. They applied for an EDA Grant through the Utah Office of Tourism, were approved, and the funds have been delivered!
