Summer is moving along and tomatoes are ripening. Finally! This month I want to high-

light several of the projects the Public Works Department has completed in our parks dur-

ing the last few years.

■ Brookside Park in the Brookside subdivision

■ Hampshire Park at about 550 South and 300 West.

■ A new bridge crossing Spring Creek at Von’s Park—this project will allow for much

better access to the walking trail in the upper portion of the park. At the request of the

Baer family, this park was recently renamed Von Baer Park.

■ A parking lot at the mouth of Providence Canyon.

■ The Providence Canyon trail is designed and construction starts this month

■ The Pony League Field was upgraded.

■ A new sidewalk was constructed through Zollinger Park.

When you see people from the Parks Department complement them on their continuing

commitment to excellence.

~ Mayor Randy Simmons~

Planning Commission meetings are

UTAH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY & ZIONS BANK

AT PROVIDENCE ZIONS BRANCH

A dozen different natural history activities

to be featured August 13, 2009

The Utah Museum of Natural History at the University of Utah and Zions Bank will

bring a Free Family Field Camp Adventure and the Traveling Treasures:

Connecting Cultures: The Zions Bank Four Corners Collection

exhibit to Providence.

The Traveling Treasures exhibit will feature four cases of selected objects from the newly acquired 600-piece

Native American collection made possible by the Museum’s Collectors Council and a generous gift from Zions Bank.

The Traveling Treasures exhibit will remain at the bank throughout August during regular lobby hours and is free

and open to the public.

The Family Field Camp Adventure will feature a variety of hands-on natural history activities, some relating

to the exhibit, on Thursday, August 13, from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. at Zions Bank, 284 S. Highway 165.

The free activities include panning for rocks, minerals, and $1 coins; understanding fossils by making a plaster cast,

the design elements of beading a necklace; understanding botany by examining a sunflower and planting seeds to

take home; viewing skulls of Utah mammals; examining rocks and minerals with microscopes; and more.

Refreshments will be provided.

“As Utah’s oldest bank, we are pleased to support the museum and be a part of this statewide outreach to

communities throughout Utah,” said Jill Nelson, manager of the Providence branch of Zions Bank. “We hope our

customers and the general public will take the opportunity to experience this free family event and visit our lobby to

view these beautiful collection objects,” said Nelson.

Come and join Zions Bank for this Fun Event!
