The first-ever Save Our Canyons Wasatch Trivia Night at Fisher Brewing in Salt Lake City is on Wednesday, August 26, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m.

We’ve spent years exploring, protecting, and celebrating the Wasatch. Now it’s time to put that passion to the test. Whether you can name every canyon peak, know the story behind Utah’s mining towns, or just love spending time in the mountains, this night is for you. Bring your friends, build a team, enjoy a pint, and settle in for an evening of laughter, friendly competition, and all things Wasatch.

Along the way, you’ll have chances to win prizes, meet fellow canyon enthusiasts, and support the work of protecting the mountains we all love. We hope this becomes a new Save Our Canyons tradition, and we’d love for you to be part of the very first one. Grab your tickets, invite your smartest (or funniest) friends, and join us for a night that celebrates the Wasatch.

On August 27, 2026, the Bear River Land Conservancy and Stokes Nature Center are joining forces for the Mendon BBQ and Volunteer Appreciation Party. This isn’t just a celebration; it’s a tribute to the volunteers and supporters who keep our wild spaces wild and our community connected to the natural world.

To keep the energy high, Logan’s own White Pine Lonesome will be providing the soundtrack. Known for their soulful blend of folk, bluegrass, and "whatever strikes their fancy," this quartet (Kelin Gibbons, Wade Evans, Rip Nolan, and Travis Taylor) is a local favorite that is guaranteed to bring the crowd to their feet.

A huge shoutout to our sponsors Slide Ridge Honey and Winery and Caffe Ibis for helping make this event possible!

Space is limited, so the location will only be shared with those who RSVP! We are asking for a suggested donation of $20 to help us throw this party, unless you volunteered with BRLC or Stokes at any point this year.

Two internationally touring folk/Americana duos, The Rough & Tumble and Flagship Romance combine for the Stokes Nature Canyon Jams series on at Von Baer Park in Providence on Friday August 28th beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Two internationally touring folk/Americana duos, The Rough & Tumble and Flagship Romance combine for a night of high energy, four part harmonies, infectious hooks and a roomful of laughter. It took over 10 years and 500,000 miles of touring the indie/folk circuit and seeing each other’s posters on venue walls before the two bands met. But it only took one meeting before they’d started a text thread and concocted the idea of the Rough Romance tour. It’s a night of open-armed, deep-in-the-belly-songs that are as intimate as they are universal and as delightful as your first cup of coffee. It’s a jubilant show that has become the highlight of the year for many people to watch these four accomplished musicians and friends share the stage.

Concert begins at 7:00 pm at Von Baer Park in Providence. Please bring a chair or blanket to enjoy the show. Lucky Slice pizza will be available for pre-order and delivery to the park beginning the week of the concert.
