Wednesday was one of the most iconic days in Utah sports history. It was the day when Salt Lake was awarded the XXVII Olympic Winter Games, on Pioneer Day, no less, capping off a nearly ten-year project to bring the Games back to Utah. And people did not waste any time in recounting the memories of those Games, including the Salt Lake Tribune.

Over 230 teams made up of over 1000 total people took to the city streets, country roads, nooks, and public spaces in Uintah County over the weekend in pursuit of some quick cash. In fact, teams participating in the 3rd annual Outlaw’s Lost Treasure Hunt stayed out most the night from Friday to Saturday hoping to be the first to the $10,000 prize. Vernal City Manager Quinn Bennion has been one of the event organizers since its inception and can attest to the planning that goes into each year’s theme, puzzles, and clues. A special example of this was the use of the gigantic trout mural with a constellation background on Highway 40 and 100 East downtown for a puzzle this year. Bennion actually asked the mural artist a year ago to include that type of constellation on the mural specifically to be used in a future puzzle. So who walked away with this year’s outlaw booty? A team that has participated all three years made up of Gage Larsen, his wife Brittany, son Nicholys, mom Jenny Brailsford, sister Abbi Jackson, and sister-in-law Cierra Stubbs. “We didn’t think we were going to solve the puzzles fast enough!” shares Gage. “We were so shocked. These hunts they put on are amazing. Even the years we didn’t win we have had a blast. I get to see people I haven’t seen in a long time running around town. We talk and share clues and just enjoy the weekend.” Gage says the feeling of solving a difficult puzzle is hard to beat. “I solved one of the harder ones at about 3am Friday night and had to contain myself from waking up the whole house,” he shares. “Last year we were part of the foot race at the end and came up short. This year was finally our year!” Congratulations to Gage Larsen, Brittany Larsen, Nicholys Larsen, Jenny Brailsford, Abbi Jackson, and Cierra Stubbs on your big win! And in case you’re curious where that treasure was found, it was hiding up off Taylor Mountain Road.

ST. GEORGE — Nestled in the heart of Washington Fields lies The Flowering Cottage, a hidden lower farm where rows of colorful blooms stretch toward the sun. “People don’t realize there’s a lot of flowers that you can grow here,” The Flowering Cottage owner Jennica Burnett said. “I grow so many things out here. Too much to count. But it is really fun. It’s fun to see what you have success with.”

SALT LAKE CITY — Seize the Initiative is playing at the Fringe Festival located at Trolley Square, and I saw it on Friday, July 26th. Seize the Initiative was directed by Josh Patterson, and written by Yoram Bauman. The play is fundamentally a quaint piece of propaganda designed to educate the audience about clean air, democracy and the boundless enthusiasm for attempting to create change in Utah. There just so happens to be a lukewarm romance sandwiched between all the politics.

SALT LAKE CITY — Lady M, produced at the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival by Utah Valley University’s department of theatre, is billed as a retelling of the Scottish play from Lady MacBeth’s perspective. Because I’m about to venture to Scotland for the first time and because I’m no stranger to productions of MacBeth over the years, I was pretty excited about this fresh look at the Shakespearean tragedy.

SALT LAKE CITY — Save the Cow, a full-fledged fringe show at the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival’s Opening Day, written and directed by Merry Magee, opens up with the scene of a bunch of college graduates sitting at a dull commencement speech. At the end of the celebration the five graduates dance and celebrate as Jac, uncredited in the program, is interrupted by her creepy and controlling boyfriend, also uncredited, where they perform a quite explicit and haunting dance that shows her being controlled by him sexually, emotionally, and physically. As a therapist as well as a critic, I felt that this was handled so well, looking at all the emotions that encompass feeling trapped.

LOGAN – Independence was the theme of the fourth monthly chapter of the “Light Switch Stories” held on July 26 at the LionHeart Hall in Logan.
