5 Ways to ‘Fall’ in Love with Salt Lake City this October
There’s always something fun to do in Salt Lake City, and the cooler autumn months are no exception. While ‘fun’ may mean something different for everyone, Salt Lake’s event calendar is chock-full of events and activities for every inclination.
For some, ‘fun’ means exploring the mountains and the changing leaves. For others, it’s taking the kids to a hands-on festive fall experience including hayrides and pumpkin-picking. And for others, it’s live polka-music, bratwursts and beer tasting. Whatever your vibe, Salt Lake City has it.
Here’s a few of our favorite October festivities that you’re sure to fall in love with!
2018 Downtown Dine O’ Round
Featuring the top 45 downtown Salt Lake City restaurants, Dine O’ Round is a fun way for restaurant-goers to “dig in” to new dining locations and/or return to favorites. Participating restaurants offer $5 or $10 two-item lunches, as well as $15, $25 or $35 three-course dinners in addition to their existing menus. No need to sign up for anything or print coupons to participate; simply ask for the Dine O’ Round menu wherever you choose to dine. Dine O’ Round runs through October 14th at 200 South Main Street in Downtown Salt Lake.
Oktoberfest at Snowbird
This year marks Snowbird’s 46th annual Oktoberfest, one of Utah’s longest-running cultural events.

Welcome, 2020! We made it through the first week of the New Year and are already excited for what’s to come in this brand new decade. Anything can happen, and we have so much to create! Whether you’re a fan of long-term resolutions or prefer setting smaller, short-term goals, it feels good to start the year off with a desire to change for the better. If you know us, you know our approach at Novation Title has always been goal-centric, not only within our business but in our personal lives and out in the community. In today’s world where we are constantly connected (and distracted), it’s no wonder that we increasingly find ourselves overwhelmed mentally and physically drained. Often, the issues in everyday life are the ones that prevent us from enjoying the very same everyday life! How can we balance this out? We believe we can do better. That is why we are introducing meditation into our workspace. While meditation has been practiced for over 5,000 years, it is increasingly becoming a necessary way for us to unplug from the modern world. But what, exactly, is it? Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique — such as mindfulness — to train attention and thoughts. Mindfulness is awareness, it is a state of peace. It is being in the present moment, intentional and serene. It is the process of being aware of your thoughts while also disconnecting from them so you can connect within. Connecting within is the highest form of intelligence and results in proven mental, emotional and spiritual health benefits. Here are just a few science-based benefits of meditation: Reduces blood pressure Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior Improves immune system Increase in energy levels Lessens stress and anxiety Increases happiness and creativity Clarity and peace of mind Increased memory retention and recall Enhances self-awareness and self-acceptance Each one of us, regardless of gender, age or other factors, undergo daily stress and tension at some level or the other. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce #NovationMeditation into our business and we encourage others to join us this year. We can ALL benefit from improved mental and physical health in 2020. Who’s with us?!
