Beat the heat by heading to the mountains and enjoy some spectacular art at the Snowbasin Art Walk. The event listing at VisitOgden.com says: “Snowbasin Resort is excited to announce the Snowbasin Art Walk, a special weekend event celebrating local creativity in the heart of the mountains. Taking place Saturday and Sunday, August 15-16, the Art Walk will invite guests to explore a curated selection of artwork while enjoying the scenic beauty, summer atmosphere, and resort experience that make Snowbasin a memorable destination

3. Waiting for Godot
Good Company Theatre, Aug. 8-16, 7:30 p.m.
Enjoy a summer evening of great theater at the latest show at Good Company Theatre. The theater page says: “Two wandering souls, Vladimir and Estragon, wait by a lonely tree for the mysterious Godot, a stranger who may never arrive. They pass the time with bickering, boots, hats, half-remembered stories, and the occasional visit from a blustering landowner and his rope-bound servant. Hilarious, heartbreaking, and as urgent today as it was in 1953, Beckett’s self-proclaimed tragicomedy asks all of life’s biggest questions and answers exactly none of them.”
