It's gunna be a snowy weekend! at 10:12 AM

boy have i been busy lately. blogging, crafting and preparing for Christmas. It seems like I've been non stop running errands and haven't had time to just sit. luckily i woke up early today so i can write this post. So here is your weekend, or what i could gather. I'm always on the lookout for events so if you have one you want me to mention just send me a message at bryanandmikki@gmail.com!

X-mas is almost here and there is only a little bit more time to get a present so head on down to the borrowed earth emporium on Saturday and Sunday and check out the local artisans in attendance every weekend to sell their wares during winter. buy local! family activities, yoga, coffee and food.

While your downtown be sure to ride on the Santa train and check out the Christmas village. With snow out its going to be a beautiful sight and Rovali's Ristorante Italiano presents their first annual Cookie Fair!
The Cookie Fair is going to be a very festive occasion. Entry to the fair is free and there will be plenty of free samples to taste! The idea for the fair came about in a way we could show off our baked goods to the public. All of our pastries, cakes and cookies are homemade. We will have a place for our guests to decorate their own cookies! Calling all Cookie Monsters!
What better way to spend the holiday season than decorating cookies and not having to clean up the mess! We will also have samples of our apple cider, hot chocolate and many other drinks from our Espresso bar! If you want to purchase cookies or any other of our available treats you can do that too with very special prices during Rovali's Cookie Fair only! We will also have gift baskets you can build yourselves and purchase, or
simply place your order and we will build them for you with our awesome
basket elves!

Feeling a bit charitable? Uncommon Grounds Cafe' & Coffee House will be hosting a charity concert for Angel Tree on Saturday December 18th from 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM. Representatives from The Salvation Army and Angel Tree will be here to accept donations for this needy cause. This year they have not even come close to what they need for the children waiting to be adopted. Please stop by and donate. The admission to this great event is an unwrapped toy or winter clothing article. Mountain hymns will be performing alongside 3 other bands.

I am very excited to go to the basements show tonight! Its the second annual Christmas is on Fire show featuring :
Fire In The Skies- http://www.myspace.com/fits801 Fire in the Skies was formed in mid 2009, drawing influence for their name from The Seventh Circle from the epic poem ..Dante's Inferno... Not long after formation, FITS was signed to Matchless Records and released their Self Titled EP in November of that same year. Ever since that release, FITS has been touring relentlessly all over the United States building not only a loyal fan base, which they pride themselves on being closely connected with, but also solidifying a reputation as one of the hardest working bands in metalcore today.
Breaux- http://www.myspace.com/breauxrock The band is, simply put, dirty southern party metal. With their catchy riffs, classic solos and epic songs, this Salt Lake City, Utah-based band brings the fun back into the metal scene. Their goofy stage antics and high-energy live show have energized even the most dead of concerts in genres varying from metal to hardcore to light rock.
and the five finalists from the Battle For Metal Supremacy.

And for those non metal heads there is the much anticipated Scott Bennett 'The AMBASSADOR of LOVE" show at wiseguy comedy club. Scott started doing open mics in Las Vegas in 1996. When he moved back to Utah in 1997 because of a divorce he was lucky enough to hook up with a club called Laughs which is now Wiseguys where they gave him a lot of stage time. Before he knew it, he was working on the road as a feature and three years later as a headliner. Scott is a regular at the Improv in Hollywood, and plays the Loony Bins, Funny Bones, Wiseguys, etc. Scott's also done a few TV commercials and bit parts in movies. Scott was the Winner of the Rocky Mountain Laugh Off and has appeared on Blind Date and 'E's Talk Soup.

So get out there, dress for the snow and have some fun. There's no reason to sit inside all day when your town is full of action!
