Sugar House Summit Holiday Stroll
Saturday, Dec. 5
With the local economy in the dumps, word has come from the North Pole that Santa considers not buying local naughty behavior. So do yourself and your local shopkeepers a favor and check out the unique gifts offered during the Sugar House holiday stroll. Along with great local gift ideas, the event will have hot chocolate stations, free beanies and scarves, carolers spreading the joy of the season and much more. Go local this Christmas so that the Ghost of our Recession Present doesn’t become a Ghost of the Future Depression.
Sugar House Business District, 1100 E. 2100 South, Dec. 5, 11 a.m.
