We recently found out that Mens Den in the University Mall is going out of business they are trying to sell all their inventory at very good prices. They have jackets, pants, hats, canes, ties, cummerbunds, shirts, shoes, hankerchiefs, studs, garment bags, and various other items you would expect at a tux rental place. They are trying to get rid of all inventory and the prices are great. If you need anything, stop by or give them a call. They will be available during normal business hours till close on Oct 31. You can also call them at 801-372-3873.

Here is a note from Brent Friess about the Pow Wow and Timpview’s competition

The Thunderball competition is aware of the Boy Scout Merit Badge Pow Wow on the morning of October 29th. We are going to be making a effort to schedule the Junior events in the afternoon to avoid a conflict with those competitors that would like to also attend the Pow Wow.
