A technicolor goth vampire of your nightmares and so much more. Plus, Wake the Lake and USANA Kids Eat Holiday Bag Project.

Tonight's show features the following people, organizations and/or events. Check them out and get plugged into your community! 

Michelle Benedict of the USANA Kids Eat Program, which provides food for food-insecure kids from Ogden to Payson each weekend (when kids are not in school but don’t know where their next meal will come from). The problem is that schools’ two-week break for the holidays in December means Utah kids (and we’re talking 1 in 10) are left to figure out food for themselves. 

  • USANA Kids Eat Holiday Bag Project provides two weeks’ worth of food for the kids for the holidays. They need families, individuals, clubs and businesses to sign up to help provide (shop, buy, pack, deliver) two-week holiday food bags for the kids. Registration opens Friday, Nov. 1, at usanakidseat.volunteermatters.org, but you can create a free volunteer account now.

  • Oct. 29: Opening Reception: By a Thread, 4:00-7:00 p.m. at Meldrum Science at Westminster University, 1840 S. 1300 E., SLC. Event by Salt Lake City Arts Council: "We are excited to announce the first public installation for the Wake the Great Salt Lake Public Art Project! Kellie Bornhoft’s interactive sculptural installation, By a Thread, will be exhibited at Westminster University’s Meldrum Science Center Foyer from October 29–November 25, 2024. This exhibition will be the first public installation of work from Wake the Great Salt Lake, a temporary public art project that aims to educate and inspire residents and visitors to understand and prevent the further decline of the Great Salt Lake.
