PRESENTED BY TYLER SMITH

“Before our coaching sessions began, my finances were in disarray. Tyler's judgment-free, open approach allowed me to openly discuss my difficult and uncomfortable financial concerns. The lessons learned and skills developed through this journey are invaluable and will be cherished and utilized for a lifetime.”

“Tyler was knowledgeable, empathetic, and patient as we worked through building a budgeting habit. I now feel in greater command of my finances, which has lowered my stress levels and improved my relationship with money and budgeting. I highly recommend Tyler as a coach.”

EVENTS

Big Fireworks at Thanksgiving Point 🎆

Enjoy a spectacular Fourth of July at Thanksgiving Point’s Freedom Celebration. Electric Park will host a free event featuring local vendors and a dazzling fireworks show synchronized to music on The Bull 93.3 FM. Bring your blankets and chairs, but leave personal fireworks and grills at home. Doors open at 4 PM, and the fireworks begin at 10 PM.

Celebrating With Fireworks At Home? 

Have fun! Here are a few restrictions you should know about to avoid getting your party shut down by the fire department (this happened to my neighbors a couple of years ago)! Fireworks are not allowed in any public parks except for Olympic Park and Sports Park. Fireworks are also restricted north of Timpanogos Highway and along the Dry Creek Corridor. While aerial fireworks are allowed, the following are still prohibited: firecrackers, M-80, cherry bombs, bottle rockets, Roman candles, single or re-loadable mortars, and ground salutes.

Outdoor Movie Series at Ashton Gardens 🎬

Enjoy summer nights with Thanksgiving Point’s Outdoor Movie Series at Ashton Gardens. This Friday, bring a blanket, grab some treats, and watch “Wonka” under the stars. Doors open at 8 PM, and movies start at dusk. Tickets are free for Thanksgiving Point members, $7.50 for adults, and $5 for children.

Under the Sea at Traverse Mountain 🐟

On July 5, try an "Under the Sea" Fun Friday theme with a fishing game and sea creature crafts. The event is free, perfect for children 12 and under, with one craft kit per child. Reserve your spot.

Music and Food at Traverse Mountain Outlets 🎸

In case you need a break from your Independence Day parties and preparations, skip on over to the Outlets at Traverse mountain for some live music and food trucks. The Beatdiggers are performing on July 4th from 12 PM to 2 PM. On Friday, July 5th, snag some delicious snacks from Ricochet Ice Cream, Good Grindz and Maize Tacos.
