for the week of August 5, 2013

Hello music fans!
There are always so many
things happening in Cedar
City and our surrounding
area. Sometimes so many that we cannot make it to all of them.
A great sign of a
thriving community is how many artistic events there are going on (art, music,
and theater). Don’t be afraid to pick and choose what you can do – we certainly
can’t do everything!
Because we have so many
things to choose from on a daily basis, there is no excuse to just sit home and
watch TV. There is also no excuse to not plan something. In other words, just
because there are other things going on all the time, don’t let that discourage
you. If you have an event you want to do – do it! Plan it! But make sure you
let people know about it.
I’ve always said that if
you wait until nothing else is happening, then you’ll never plan anything –
because there is always going to be
something! And if you don’t have an event happening yourself, then please make
sure to support the efforts of those who do – at least as much as you can. I
mean, just look at all this stuff!
If you are planning a
music or art-related event, let me know – I’ll get it on this calendar. Just
make sure to let me know before each Monday afternoon.
Thanks SO MUCH for
supporting the arts!!
