SLCene Suggests: Local First Utah’s Celebrate The Bounty

CELEBRATE THE BOUNTY, RICO’S WAREHOUSE, Thursday, Oct. 11, 6-10 p.m., $55 for food and drinks/$50 for food only.

I’ve been lucky enough to attend Local First Utah’s Celebrate the Bounty fall party and fundraiser a couple times, and it’s one of the best benefits you can go to in Salt Lake City, and at a pretty remarkable price for what you get. Not only are you supporting the Local First Utah organization and its support and promotion of Utah businesses and communities; you are also getting a fine night out with live music, an interesting crowd to mingle with, and food and drinks from some of Utah’s very best restaurants. Among this year’s offerings, you’ll find me lurking around the booths to sample fare from Avenues Bistro on Third, Caffe Niche, Communal, Finca, Frida Bistro, Hell’s Backbone Grill, Tin Angel, Mazza and Red Iguana–and that’s just scratching the surface of what’s available. Tickets are limited, so you’ll want to get on it! You can buy them at Squatters Pub Brewery, the Harmons City Creek location, The King’s English Bookshop, or online at the Local First Website linked above.
