⛰️ Local News 📰
First, some good news…
Utah is #4 in the nation in a recent education ranking study! Way to go us.

Sad news: The Sundance Film Festival is gone, but Governor Cox and Ryan Smith want to bring it back…
Building the Next Gen film festival in Utah sounds like a blast. The outpouring of people wanting to help support a fresh new experience starting from scratch is remarkable. SEG is 100% committed to joining Gov Cox, the state, and local leaders to make this happen.

It is estimated that the state will lose over $100M/year without Sundance here anymore. The end of an era.
🍦 Restaurant Spotlight 🤤
I recently went to Crispy Cones for dessert (they have 3 locations in Utah). I hadn’t heard of them before (even though they appeared on Shark Tank). Honestly, I was blown away. I mean, take a look at the pictures below. Nuff said. I had some sort of Biscoff explosion thing that was incredible. Highly recommend! Check out their website here.
