   Speaking on Business: Gardner Village

   This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Gardner Village is a beloved Utah destination where pioneer history, local shops, restaurants and seasonal events come together. Its unique charm and welcoming atmosphere make it a special place for visitors of all ages. Co-Owner, Angie Gerdes, joins us with more. Angie Gerdes: Gardner Village began with my mom, Nancy Long, and her vision for a pioneer flour mill built in 1877 by Scottish immigrant and Utah pioneer Archibald Gardner. What started in 1980 has grown into a Utah landmark featuring local shops, restaurants and small businesses. At the heart of the Village is the historic Gardner Mill, which my mom restored, and is recognized as a Utah Historic Site and a property on the National Historic Register. Today, my brother Joe and I are proud to carry on my mom’s legacy as owners of Gardner Village. Visitors can stroll brick-lined paths and explore boutique shops in historic homes, restaurants, a day spa, classes and event venues. There’s also everything from petting zoos and train rides to escape rooms and five-course dining with a Vegas-quality magic show. WitchFest is underway, bringing fall magic to the Village through Halloween. No matter the season, Gardner Village offers one-of-a-kind experiences found nowhere else in Utah. Derek Miller: From seasonal celebrations to local businesses and historic charm, Gardner Village continues to bring people together.

   Speaking on Business: Girls on the Run Utah

   This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. For the last 19 years, Girls on the Run has served girls in Utah by using running as a tool to build confidence, resilience and healthy habits that last well beyond the finish line. Program Manager, Jessica Erickson, joins us with more. Jessica Erickson: At a time when girls' self-esteem and physical activity starts to drop, Girls on the Run Utah aims to teach girls to use their bodies in a way that relieves stress and helps them feel strong. Twice a week, trained volunteer coaches lead small teams through a curriculum that blends physical activity with lessons on kindness, teamwork and standing up for yourself. The season builds toward a celebratory 5K, where every girl can experience the joy of accomplishing something really hard! This year alone, our coaches and community partners will work with about 2,000 girls across over a hundred schools in northern Utah, many running their first race ever. We rely on local sponsors, school partnerships and volunteer coaches to keep the program accessible to every family, regardless of financial circumstances. If you believe in empowering the next generation of girls, find out more at GirlsontheRunUtah.org. Derek Miller: By helping girls build confidence, resilience and healthy habits, Girls on the Run is creating stronger, healthier communities across Utah. Its programs give girls the tools to overcome challenges, support one another and discover what they’re capable of achieving. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
