A few highlights of today’s newsletter:

• 🚵 Banff Mountain Film Festival, Snapology + Oliver’s Place, Imagication, Chocolate Tasting, Concert and Silent Auction

Presented by Pfeifferhorn Dental
The Peak of Dental Care 🦷 

If you’ve been to Pfeifferhorn peak in Utah, let us know. It is one of the highest, and most remote mountain peaks in the state.

If you’ve been to Pfeifferhorn Dental, again, let us know! Those who have been know why Pfeifferhorn Dental’s slogan is “The Peak of Dental Care”.

But unlike its namesake, it is not remote at all — you can find them right next to Magleby’s in Provo. 🧇🥞🍰 

So next time you’re getting all-you-can-eat waffles, go check them out! Dr. Mark Jardine (Dr. J) and his team are the best around, and they offer a wide range of dental care needs including cosmetic dentistry, family dentistry, crowns, implants, root canals, wisdom teeth removal, etc. (Also, from now until Mar. 31st it’s only $59 for a teeth cleaning plus an exam w/ x-rays for new patients!)

So enjoy this family friendly version of Henry V, performed by the BYU Young Company. Performances start this Wednesday and go until Feb 22nd. Tickets cost $9 - $12.
