Outdoor enthusiasts can attend the expo from noon to 9 p.m. Friday or 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at the UCCU Center at UVU (800 W. University Parkway, Orem). Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for 65 and older, and those 17 years of age and under are free.

Go to an art show

Provo Girls Summit is teaming up with the Neighborhood Art Center to bring the second Provo Girls Summit Art Show. The show will feature the art of local girls between the ages of 8 and 12, all of which falls under the theme of “Signs of Courage.”

The public can view the art from 6-8 p.m. Saturday, and there will be live music performances from Sophie Blair and Mindy Gledhill. Winners will be announced at 7 p.m.

The show will be held at the Neighborhood Art Center at Provo Towne Centre (1200 Towne Centre Blvd., Provo).
