More than 4,000 park, recreation and leisure professionals and citizen advocates will gather in Utah's glorious capital city, October 29-November 2, for an intense round of instruction, seminars, institutes, networking, and--oh, yes--some serious fun. Seeing Salt Lake City for the first time, bathed in the shadows of the monstrous Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountain Ranges, one can almost hear the simple but prophetic words Brigham Young uttered upon discovering the valley, "This is the right place." Salt Lake City was founded on July 24, 1847, by a group of Mormon pioneers--the first non-Indians to settle permanently in the valley--led by Young. Within a handful of days, the group of 148 settlers had drawn up plans for Great Salt Lake City, named after the salty inland lake that dominated the desert to the west. During the ensuing decade, more emigrants, many of them European converts to Mormonism, came to the valley. They brought with them their unique culture, languages and skills, transforming Salt Lake into an eclectic, cosmopolitan city. Today, Salt Lake City is a hub of economic, recreational and cultural activity. Within walking distance of one another downtown are Historic Temple Square, home of the Mormon Tabernacle; Maurice Abravanel Concert Hall; Hansen Planetarium planetarium, optical device used to project a representation of the heavens onto a domed ceiling; the term also designates the building that houses such a device. A modern planetarium consists of as many as 150 motor-driven projectors mounted on an axis. ; and the Delta Center, dwelling place of Karl Malone and the NBA's Utah Jazz. Dining in Salt Lake City is an epicurean delight, with close to 100 restaurants offering tantalizing tan·ta·lize tr.v. tan·ta·lized, tan·ta·liz·ing, tan·ta·liz·es To excite (another) by exposing something desirable while keeping it out of reach. ethnic taste choices from Afghan to Russian, regional favorites and Southwestern spicy numbers, and a number of casual, laid-back brew pubs that serve fresh-crafted ales and stouts along with pub fare and appetizers. The city doesn't lock up after the sun goes down, either. Prowl the clubs and nightspots to find some country-western line dancing, a little cool blues or hot jazz, or the big game on a big screen.
