The Mormon Tabernacle Choir rehearsal is open to the public, and held Thursday nights from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The rehearsal is normally held at the tabernacle in Temple Square, but during the month of December it’s held at the LDS Conference Center to accommodate larger crowds.

Fat Cats All Out Fun is a state of the art bowling and arcade center with three locations in Utah—Provo, Salt Lake City, and Ogden. Each location offers bowling, arcade games, food, and fun.

Sure, we all know Sundance is about the films—but let’s be honest, it’s just as much about the celebrity sightings, and who can blame us? It’s fun! Tip: be courteous, patient, and alert–and dress warmly.

To get wait list tickets, they give out numbers 2 hours prior to movie time. So, for example, for a 3 p.m. film you need to be in line no later than 1 p.m. After you get your wait list number you have to come back no later than 30 minutes before the film starts, and get in line in numerical order. You must be in line 30 minutes prior because they cut the line off, and if you’re not in line by then it doesn’t matter what number you have, you have to go to the back of the line. If seats are available, you exchange your wait list number for a movie ticket. Tickets cost $15, cash only.

I wanted to do something festive. I had 45 minutes to kill, an active five-year-old in tow, and a grumbling stomach. I decided to forgo the drive-thru and double cheeseburgers for a stroll along Provo’s Center Street. In general, I avoid downtown Provo. I grew up in a small town and have a very low tolerance for traffic congestion. But I thought my son, a true candy-lover, would appreciate the much publicized candy window displays.

Saturday night I discovered The Salomon Center in Ogden. It’s a shopping center—parts of which are still under construction—at 2261 Kiesel Ave., and it has some really fun and unique things to do. I’m sure you’ve seen indoor rock climbing before, but what about indoor surfing and skydiving? I hadn’t either.
