Second chance to see ‘Saving the Burg’ coming in December

GRANITE COUNTY – If you missed the premier or subsequent showing of the documentary “Saving the Burg” earlier this year, your second chance is coming as an early Christmas gift in December.

• Dec. 2 @ 7 p.m.

• Dec. 4 @ 12:30 p.m. & 11:30 p.m.

Editor’s Note

My wife and I were a unique audience for this film, as she grew up here and I was transplanted in 2015. Yet for the entirety of the piece we were both captivated by the information presented as well as the reflections of days gone by. It is a program that speaks to everyone from newcomers to old timers and everyone in between. ~ Tim Allen
