As we approach CATALYST’s first time presenting Bee Festival 2018, on June 16 at the Wasatch Community Gardens Green Team Farm (622 W 100 S), we want to know what you want to see, and what you want to bring to the festival to make it the best Bee Fest yet!
For the last seven years, Slow Food Utah has been the main organization behind the Honeybee Festival, held previously at the Sorenson Unity Center. This year CATALYST will be collaborating, and have re-branded the festival to include all pollinators (bats, birds, all types of bees, hummingbirds, insects, etc.)
VOLUNTEERS
There will be a Volunteer Meeting on Wednesday, April 11 at 5pm at the CATALYST office, 140 S. McClelland St. Bring your enthusiasm and your ideas.
