Sherlock Holmes Dinner TheatreI basically love everything about the Sherlock Holmes character and story. I have read the original book, seen the movies, and now there is a dinner and show available in Utah. Awesome.

The Salty Dinner Theatre performance will take place Friday at 7:30 p.m, but audience members are asked to arrive between 7 and 7:20. The show will take place at Thanksgiving Point at 3003 North Thanksgiving Point Way.

Renaissance Festival and Fantasy Faire

In case you ever wished you were born during the knights and dragons era, you have your chance to experience it this weekend. The Renaissance Festival and Fantasy Faire is offering some unique activities including gypsy magic and a jousting tournament, complete with knights, royalty, and turkey legs.

The festival will take place at the Millcreek Hollow Farm in Ogden. The activities will take place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

State Park Scavenger Hunt

If you don't take advantage of the beautiful State Parks in Utah, you should. On Saturday, the Yuba State Park is sponsoring a scavenger hunt for children and adults that will allow you to tour the park as you move from each location in search of your next clue. Who doesn't like a good treasure dig, right?

The Beach Boys

The scavenger hunt will be Saturday, May 11 at 1 p.m. at the Yuba State Park near Levan. Take your kids out to enjoy nature and search for treasure.

The Beach Boys Concert

Even though its been a few decades since they were in their "prime," the famous and legendary Beach Boys are still going strong and touring the U.S. They are making a stop in Utah to dazzle audiences with their age old classic hit songs. And let's be honest, it doesn't matter how old you are — you know every word to their songs. They just don't go out of style.

The Beach Boys will be performing in the Tuacahn Ampitheatre on Friday at 8 p.m.
