Weekend Roundup

Don't let the rain get you down today. There is still lots of summer fun to be had this weekend. As always Utah Valley has something for everyone. So put on that rain jacket and hat, its time for the weekend roundup.

The Arts

The Von Trapp family at
 the SCERA Shell

       Start your weekend off right with the Sundance Resort Bluebird Cafe Series. A little bit of Nashville comes to Utah with this one of a kind concert series. This event is all about singer/songwriter/musicians telling the history behind the music.This week's performers include Don Henry, his songs have been recorded by Ray Charles, Patti Page, Conway Twitty, Blake Shelton, Lonestar and Miranda Lambert. Kim Richey, she has been nominated for two Grammy, and Jack Tempchin who is best known for the classsic song, "Peaceful Easy Feeling," recorded by the Eagles. If that doesn't make the hill (or should I say mountain) come alive with "The Sound of Music" for you the SCERA Shell Outdoor Theatre sure will with its version of the beloved family musical. Watch as Maria teaches the children to sing and Captain Von Trapp to love.        Festivals 

Kilts not required but welcomed!

 Who hasn't wanted to wear a kilt? No one that's who. Now you can at the 30th Annual Payson Scottish Festival and Highland Games in Payson. Come and celebrate Scottish traditions in all its forms: dance, music, food, and entertainment. Fun starts tonight (July 12) with food and entertainment at Memorial Park, and things really heat up tomorrow with a Highland Athletics, bagpipe competitions and  dancing (sword dancing that is). Then take a trip down to Mona for Lavender Day at the Young Living Lavender Farms. Celebrate with a jousting tournament, old western town shootout, distillery tours, arts and crafts, a fairy tea party and much more.
