02 THE ASSIGNMENT | Searching for Celia, free at the Riverwoods gazeboSearching for Celia plays Provo for free Saturday, 6 to 9pm, at the Shops at Riverwoods gazebo. There is no ticket and no cover, so a late arrival costs only a few songs. Three hours leaves room to eat first. Of the three concerts on this week's list, it is the only free one. It is part of Gazebo Nights at Riverwoods, free live music outside at the shops. It is the free thing this week I'd build a Saturday around. The farmers market closes at 2, four hours before the first song. After that, the evening turns into a question about dessert, and three bakeries are listed below. |

04 ROUGH DRAFT | Geneva Road (SR 114) had overnight flagging on October 7, according to a UDOT traffic alert. The work zone behind it is planned through Thursday, November 26. If Geneva is your late route between Provo and Orem, allow a few extra minutes for the next several weeks. |

08 TURNED IN | Friday stacks a harvest festival, a football game and a Journey tribute into one evening. Saturday is quieter. I think Saturday is the better night, and the gazebo is why. Nobody has to leave anything on time. Pencils down until next Thursday. |
