The three of us went to Antelope Island (a fairly big island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake) on a Saturday. There are buffalo herds and antelope on this island. When Brigham Young came they designated this as the Church Ranch to raise cattle. They did this for quite some time. The State of Utah now owns it.
The Saturday, May 26, that we were there, they were having a Cowboy Poetry gathering . We actually went on the wagon ride. I sympathize with the pioneers! The band below is called the Saddle Strings and they were very good. I want to get some of their CD's someday.
They have started having concerts in the Brigham Young Park across from the Church Headquarters. They will have them all summer on Tuesdays and Fridays. Went this last Friday - they had a dance band playing all the tunes we are familiar with - some people even danced! They also have concerts in the Assembly Hall too on Saturday evenings. These are all free.
I have now had 3 students (new missionaries) that have "graduated" from the Training Zone now. Start my 4th on Monday. Love my mission! Love you all - Jean
