UNPA Annual Party, September 12th!
Finally, it’s time for the Utah News Photographers Association’s yearly Party (and awards banquet). We take pride in being the last group in the country to announce the award-winning photos of last year.
This year’s party will be Sunday September 12th in the backyard (above) of 4576 South Creekview Drive (450 East), in Murray, from 6-10pm.
Food by Red Iguana.
Drinks by Kensington Ave. Brewery (homebrew is extra $).
We will be announcing our yearly awards, but more importantly this is a great time to relax with friends and have a good time.
If you entered the contest you are a UNPA member and you get in free.
Guests are welcome with a $10 charge to cover food.
And if you can, bring a lawn chair.
