The Antelope Island Stampede Festival is this weekend and it promises to be a good time for everyone! Think fireworks, climbing walls, kite flying, picnics, music, food and MORE! All for only $10 per carload. How many can YOU fit in your car?

From the website:

The Antelope Island Stampede!

Looking for some Family Entertainment over Labor Day 2010? Come to the Layton area of Northern Utah for kite flying, hot air balloons, live music and fun. With over 21,000 attendees in 2009, the Stampede has grown and evolved into a premier regional event. Professional balloonists and kite fliers, nearly non-stop local entertainment on the stage, outstanding food, family activities, and the island mystique.

There are chairs in the food tent, but you’re encouraged to bring your own in order to enjoy the music, entertainment and the fireworks from the beach on Saturday night.

The event begins at 5PM on Friday and continues through Sunday.

If the weather allows the balloons to fly, they will take off shortly after sunrise on Saturday only. Kites fly whenever the wind allows on each of the days. But there’s more than just kites and balloons. Come on out for non-stop fun and entertainment. You can ride horses, kids can play on the inflatable toys, there’s a small train, a climbing wall, and lots of food and music.

And if the weather cooperates further, we’ll have the first fireworks display ever on the island. Fireworks will be shot from the beach at White Rock Bay, and they will easily be seen from the Stampede area! Everyone loves fireworks… Come out for a really great show on Saturday evening! And… BYOC!

More an more people are gardening these days, either as a by-product of the recession, or just because they can and now they want to have a little more control over what they put into their bodies. Part of the harvest is the preservation of the harvest. By preserving, you can enjoy it throughout the year and still many skip this step and let it all go at the end of the season. Why? because they think it is a hard and time consuming process and in reality it is not.

This year Slow Food Utah is presenting several opportunities to learn the steps to preserving your harvest. It Starts Tomorrow with a class on tomatoes and continues for four Mondays at a different location, with a different topic, each Monday.
