Utah’s One Thing: Michelle Miller, Pioneer Park Coalition

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

When we asked Michelle Miller, of the Pioneer Park Coalition, during episode 180 what her one thing she would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do, she said “just one thing?” Michelle said she grew up in the mountains and she has a huge crush on Big Cottonwood and she would totally marry it. She said every time you see it or visit it, it is breath taking. Her words, “it is second to none!”

Utah’s One Thing: Front Row Film Roast/CrowdSourced Comedy

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Episode 154 we had the cast of the Front Row Film Roast/ CrowdSourced Comedy join us for a roaring good time! We asked Jessica, Andrew, Trevor, and Craig what the one thing the would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving! Here are there answers.

Andrew said that there is so much here but because others have mentioned national parks, etc. Andrew said to go to the Avenues! There is no rhyme or reason behind the style of homes and also in the Avenues is the Salt Lake Cemetery. It’s on a hill you can see all the city and the history connected to Utah.

Craig said, yes it sounds cliché for him to say, but if you are in Utah in the month of June go to Utah’s pride festival! SLC is unique because it has one of the most dense LGBTQ+ populations because a lot of people flock to the state because it is a place to belong.

Jessica said it depends on what you enjoy but her one thing to do in Utah, is to go to Cedar City and take in the Shakespeare Festival! It goes from June to October!

Trevor said his one thing is to go to the restaurant Five Alls, but our Jessica squashed his hopes and dreams by telling him it had recently closed. He then said, go to F***n Arches!
