  Jordan Park: Volunteer Cleanup     On the Sunday morning of July 6th, Salt Lake City's Public Lands hosted a volunteer cleanup at Jordan Park, the day after the return of its 4th of July drone show. Around 15 volunteers arrived and used the supplied buckets and grabbers to clean up the field and around the playground area. Overall, I found plastic water bottle caps and balloon pieces to be the most common liter. The oddest thing I found was either a pacifier, a child's sock, or an eyelash curler; the eyelash curler was a nice one, too!      After the cleanup, I got in my car to drive home when I had noticed tents being set up for, what I now know is, the People's Market. This is an weekly farmer's market that Jordan Park hosts every Sunday. While there were many friendly vendors, fresh produce, and lots of beautiful handmade items, I ended up buying a Matcha and Blueberry Lemmon custard from Prin Ya's Custard—and I am sure glad that I did!   ...
