This year, the event includes a morning cleanup in millcreek canyon (more details soon) as well as the SLC opening of the #celebrateutahwildlife traveling exhibit. We’ve also got live music outside, djKA, food trucks, culinary artisans & vendors, trout tattoos, giant fly tying for kids, fly thing demos, fly casting fun, face painting, trout cutout painting, temp henna tattoos featuring stoneflies and grasshoppers. Ken Sanders will be on hand to read wildlife stories to the little ones!
We’ve also got @nan_seymour, @brookusi, @theepocha and @chrispetersonstudio teaching some workshops on site (see qr code for details). And of course our live #bonnevillecutthroattrout will be on hand greeting visitors, with some special guests including an education raptor from @hawkwatch and a live #rattlesnake from @rattlesnakealert .

Join us for this one of a kind grassroots event celebrating Utah's wildlife and building community that includes them.
