On September 28, New World Distillery will add a tour for the Deaf at 3:30 pm.

The tour for the Deaf in Eden, Utah, is curated by Chris Cross with two interpreters on hand to interpret the tour and tasting for those in attendance.

The World Deaf Day is celebrated every last weekend of September on a Sunday. As required by law the distillery is closed on Sundays, so owners Chris and Ashley Cross have added a tour at 3:30 on the Saturday before World Deaf Day: Saturday, 28 September.

Ashley said, “I have a long-time friend whose wife is deaf. Together, the three of us sort of hatched this idea to offer a curated and interpreted tour for those who might otherwise miss out on such an experience because of their deafness.” Ashley hopes this will become an annual event at New World Distillery.

Registration

Registration required for the tour. And because a full flight of spirit tastings is included, there is a fee. “The fee is the same as for any of our public tour,” the owners explain.

The fee is $20 per person. To register your party, e-mail Ashley at ashley@NewWorldDistillery.com .

  • Public Homeless Campers in Salt Lake City Will Be Seeing More Police Presence

    Public camping on the Jordan River Parkway Trail in Salt Lake City has become a contentious issue, balancing the needs of homeless individuals with the preservation of public space. Despite a Supreme Court ruling allowing cities to enforce anti-camping laws, the humanitarian crisis persists. Tammy and her husband, unable to find housing, live near the river.

    Solutions Utah, led by Dale Keller, addresses homelessness through policy advocacy and clean-up efforts. Keller’s team initiated large-scale clean-ups in 2005, removing tons of garbage. Campers often receive minimal notice to vacate, despite rules requiring 48-hour warnings.

    Tammy shares concerns about crime and insufficient support, desiring a sanctioned campground with basic facilities and security. While Keller supports this idea, bureaucratic resistance hinders progress. As enforcement increases elsewhere, the future for Salt Lake City’s homeless remains uncertain.
