Author Event! Reserve Your Tickets TODAY!

Friday, March 19th, 2010!


Weber Pathways is holding its seventh annual Author Event! Our guest speaker for the evening will be Sharman Apt Russell, a recognized and highly-accomplished author and teacher. Her talk is entitled “Finding Balance: Why small actions still matter in a world of big problems.” She has written about public-lands grazing, archeology, flowers, butterflies and hunger. A humanities professor at Western New Mexico University, she is active in the world of politics and social change.


This year we will again present “Trail Blazer” Awards to one individual and one organization for the outstanding contribution that each has made to the development of Weber County’s trail system.


Gib Wallace will be presented the individual award for his many years of trail blazing and building. As one of the original visionaries for our trail system along the Wasatch Mountains, Gib will be recognized for his leadership role as well as his years of pick and shovel work to help access and connect our beautiful canyons. Through his years of leadership in Scouting, he mentored hundreds of young people, sharing his love of the out-of-doors and helping them develop an appreciation of nature.


Also that evening, we will recognize R.A.M.P. and its founder and guiding light, Candadai Seshachari, affectionately known as “Sesh”. The Weber County Recreation, Arts, Museums and Parks tax has been the life blood of many projects and programs in our community, enriching our lives and driving economic improvement. Sesh, and his late wife Neila, were the visionaries who saw the potential for this program and worked hard to bring it to life.


This Evening with Sharman Apt Russell promises to be a very special one and we hope you will join us. Your presence will honor both Gib Wallace and R.A.M.P. and help Weber Pathways continue building trails in Weber County.
