As I was running around Craft Lake City, I caught this young boy checking out the Goal Zero solar power charging station. It warmed my heart knowing that this young boy walked over to check it out on his own. Save our planet. Photo: @snakesphoto
Native Spin was probably stoked at this point with a slight break in the crowd. When I walked up, I was sure they’d run out of food. Photo: @snakesphoto

Craft Lake City Day One is a wet wrap! Photo: @snakesphoto
The 2015 Craft Lake City DIY Fest Day One got off to an incredible start on Friday, Aug. 8. This year’s festival features over 250 artisans, craft foodies, vintage vendors and nonprofit organizations, as well as a replete offering of stage performers, buskers, DIY engineers, commercial food vendors and food trucks over two days at the Gallivan Plaza, and you can find everything from locally made cocktail bitters to leather fringe. Attendees perused artists booths that lined the plaza, interacting with many from Utah’s DIY creative community. Inclement weather closed down the facilities early, but the festival continues Saturday, Aug. 8 for a full day of festivities, from noon to 10 p.m.
