Redwood Drive-In & Swap Meet

The developer Edge Homes requested to rezone the lot where the Redwood Drive-in Theatre and Swap Meet is located in West Valley for medium density housing. This iconic drive-in movie spot has been around since 1948. Whether you support or oppose the rezoning, here’s what you can do:

Food Fight

Food Fight is happening this Sunday, June 9 from 6-9 p.m. and they’re looking for volunteers. The annual event is a battle of popular SLC restaurants to raise money for reproductive healthcare organizations. They’re looking for bartenders, too, if you’re TIPS certified. Send an email to Daniel at daniel.allenbach@ppau.org if interested.
