How 'bout a nice fall day in the park with family and friends?
Bring the

and their families.

entertain for a Saturday afternoon, if you so choose. Here are
highlights of the
attractions offered in this huge 110-acre 8-square-block park:
The Tracy Aviary

Valley (free),
including canyons with fountains running into the Great Salt Lake
wadding pool
(free); a large pond where you can rent a canoe or paddle boat
($), or feed the
ducks and seagulls ($, or free if you bring the food); a swimming
pool ($);
concession stands ($); carnival-style rides (e.g., antique Ferris
wheel and
carousel)($); the historic Chase House w/ Museum of Utah Folk
Arts (free)

scattered
playgrounds of varying complexity (free). CAUTION: If you bring
young children,
please keep a close watch on them it's a huge park with
lots of people and
alluring hazards, and we'd hate for any to wander off and get
lost or hurt!

A bit about Famous Dave's (www.famousdavesutah.com)
Dave Anderson, founder of Famous Dave's, lives for barbeque.
Growing up in Chicago,
Dave's passion for ribs began as a young boy when his dad would
bring ribs home from
work in his lunch bucket.
In 1994, Dave purchased a small resort on Big Round Lake in
Hayward. From the
beginning, the restaurant, named "Famous Dave's BBQ Shack",
was a tremendous success
serving as many as 1,000 in a night. In November 1995, Famous
Dave's was named
1st place winner for its Rich & Sassy barbeque sauce at the
American Royal Barbecue
Sauce Contest in Kansas City, Missouri the largest and most
prestigious barbeque
contest in the world!
Since then, famous Dave's has won one award after another including
Greatest Ribs in
America, Greatest Sauce in America, Best New Restaurant, Best
Dessert, and Dave
himself was named "Restauranteur of the Year". At the
1999 Great American Rib
Cook-off, where several hundred thousand people attend to eat
great ribs, Dave and
his team won another Greatest Ribs in America award!
