Events and date ideas for you to steal

Need some help coming up with a good date to ask your Mutual match on? No fear! The Dater’s Digest collects monthly date ideas as well as events (local to Utah County and Salt Lake County) that you can steal for the best first date. 

There are always your winter classics–ice skating, sledding, getting hot chocolate, etc. but here are a few you maybe hadn’t thought of yet.

Winter Markets

Summer isn’t the only time you can peruse the farmer’s market! Winter is peak time for some off-season favorites as well as craft markets and small business fairs. Spend some time getting to know each other while supporting your local community.
