Learning and Teaching Proper Manners
There is nothing worse than sitting down to a nice Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends, only to have your children act out with bad manners. Etiquette Is 4 Me is a local company dedicated to teaching the "lost art" of manners to children. She gives a few tips and tricks for teaching children manners in the home before having a disastrous Thanksgiving, and even has a special discount for Good Things Utah viewers: Everyone who mentions "they agree that good manners is one of the best investment for your children" and that they heard it on Good Things Utah, they will receive a FREE evaluation for their children ($70 value) and 10% off the classes that will start in January. Read tips about teaching manners HERE.

| Massassoit |
Massassoit "Friend To The Pilgrims" at the Utah State Capitol
Known as the "friend to the pilgrims", Massassoit was one of the first people to formally welcome the pilgrims to the new land. Have a "field trip" to the library to learn and read books about him, and then visit his statue at the Utah State Capitol. While you are there, you can take a free tour of the capitol. Many people pass by his statue every day, and don't even notice or know who he is. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to visit him at the capitol and use it as a learning "field trip" for your kids. He is located on the East side of the capitol. Why is this statue at our state capitol, if he never lived in this area? Find out HERE!

You're invited to attend the First Thanksgiving! Each November Thanksgiving Point transforms the Show Barn to recreate the historic harvest feast of 1621. You'll be swept back in time as you are greeted by your hosts, prominent historical figures played by Colonial Heritage Foundation re-enactors, dressed in period breeches and petticoats. Get up-close with remarkable artifacts and armament from Colonial times, provided by Alpine School District educators. Traditional Pilgrim and Wampanoag games and activities are available to try, while you are served period food and entertained by the music of Idlewild. Dancing, tug o'war, and "fear factor" food sampling will wrap your family up in so much fun, they won't realize they are learning! New this year: Traditional 3-foot napkins with the Eat Like a Pilgrim insignia may be purchased upon exit for $1 each.
Go to the Thanksgiving Point website for complete details and how to register.
Utah Human Race for the Utah Food Bank
One way to show you are thankful for all you have is to give back to the community and to those that don't have all that you do. The Utah Human Race is a great way to show your gratitude, and benefit the Utah Food Bank for those that go without. On Thanksgiving morning, join in the race to help those that often times go without. Visit their website to register and for more details.
