In Park City, the dogs were getting into the act.

Carla Cowley sent us this video of her brother and his clever delivery system from So. Weber.

Here’s an interesting candy delivery system. Craig Bushman from Cedar Hills calls it a Covid Candy Chute (it has us thinking of Romeo and Juliet for some reason):

And finally, here’s an image from the Utah Wild Horse and Burro Festival in Hurricane!
