Join Utah Public Radio in Springdale, UT for a fundraising event at the famous Bit & Spur Restaurant!

You’ll have an opportunity to meet Corey and even join in on the discussion during a spirited Q&A. 

The evening will also include a catered Bit & Spur dinner, live music by Greg Istock of 3hattrio, and an opportunity to bid well wishes to UPR’s beloved hosts and station managers, Tom Williams and Kerry Bringhust, as they both prepare for retirement later in 2026.
