Dear Friends and Supporters,

I’m pleased to share Thanksgiving Point’s 2018-19 annual report with you. The mission of Thanksgiving Point Institute as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit farm, garden, and museum complex is to draw upon the natural world to cultivate transformative family learning. Last fiscal year we attracted 2,621,662 guests to a wide vari-ety of venues, events, and activities across the property. We truly are fulfilling our mission and its incredible to think of the growth over the last decade. More than 30 million visitors have come to Thanksgiving Point since the year 2003. We’re humbled and so proud to be part of the area’s continued growth.

2018-19 was another tremendous year for Thanksgiving Point. We welcomed a new venue to our family with the addition of the Butterfly Biosphere which opened in January 2019. This interactive “bug zoo” has already created a wonderful following with guests of all ages and, like our other locations, helps create a little bit of awe in every thing you see and do. More than a thousand butterflies reside in the Conservatory and hail from all corners of the world. It’s a wonderful place that meshes perfectly with our other venues. The Museum of Natural Curiosity remains our top attended attraction with its more than 400 interactive exhibits for children of all ages and abilities. During the last year, almost half a million visitors came to visit, play, and learn together inside

the Museum. Each year we strive to provide excellent opportunities for the community to come and see what’s inside this amazing place. The Museum of Natural Curiosity and the Butterfly Biosphere joins Farm Country, Museum of Ancient Life, and Ashton Gardens as the places of Thanksgiving Point uses to help make an impact on lives. The Gardens are home to our two biggest signature experiences, the Tulip Festival and Luminaria and has become a staple in the community due to its unique and incredible landscape and space.

We thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Mike L Washburn

during the 2018 fiscal year there were many bright stories. Our guests are the pride and joy of our operations and we’re thrilled to have millions of visitors each year on our property. Not only do we have our fantastic venues, but signature events each month including the Tulip Festival, Luminaria, Break-fast with Santa, Dia de los Muertos, and Jigglefest, just to name a few. We’ve also blessed with great neighbors like the Thanksgiving Point Golf Course and the Larry H. Miller Megaplex that bring thou-sands of people to the property each year.

The Tulip Festival has become a staple at Thanks-giving Point for a dozen years. Each spring more than 300,000 tulips are imported from Holland and plant-ed in the 55-acre Aston Gardens in unique displays and arrangements. There are more than 100 varieties of tulips and thousands of other plants and flowers as

well. What follows is nothing short of breathtaking. Our gardener’s work year-round ensuring this event is one-of-a-kind and something every guest will remember. Nearly 105,000 guests enjoyed the month-long event in 2018, an increase of almost 3,000 guests from 2017. After the Festival is complete, we dig the bulbs and sell them to the public, which has become a fun and popular event. We encourage our members and guests to create their own mini Tulip Festival all across the Wasatch Front at their homes. Additionally, the Ashton Gardens host Luminaria, a winter experi-ence unlike anything in the state of Utah. Nearly 80,000 guests attended the event in its third year. Each winter guests continue to join and be amazed at the wonderland that is Luminaria.

With events like the Tulip Festival, Luminaria, and others, Thanksgiving Point encourages guest interaction all the time, especially through social media channels. The growth of our social media channels includes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. Our Facebook channel has more than 39,000 likes and is our strongest social avenue by the numbers. Our Instagram channel has 15,800 followers and our Twitter following boasts 5,200 followers. We strive to create an environ-ment of transparency, openness, and fun throughout our social channels.

Transformative learning is part of Thanksgiving Point’s mission, which is offered through edu-cational programs for all ages. Programs included field trips, adult classes, youth classes, summer day camps, and signature experiences like the Tulip Festival, Luminaria, and the Labor Day Luau. Each year, Thanksgiving Point hosts more than 50 signature events that help spread the word of our mission. In addition to these signature events are annual music performances by the Utah Sym-phony, the Lyceum Philharmonic, and the Timp Symphony. There truly is something for everyone, each and every year.

Thanksgiving Point’s impactful programs are offered in partnership with Utah State University Extension 4-H. Growing Leaders is a leadership and mentoring club for high school students, ECO Challenge offers teenagers an environmental themed contest to engage with today’s most pressing environmental problems, and Tulips Journey North is an outreach program teaching elementary school students to become critical thinkers and citizen scientists.

Thanksgiving Point provides a myriad of educational opportunities for all ages for the community to enjoy year-round. It is a place where families come together to learn, discover, grow and laugh.

YEAR OF THEBUTTERFLY EFFECT

Above Left: Butterfly Release, Museum of Natural Curiosity, 2015This Page: Giant Owl Butterfly (Caligo Memnon), Butterfly Biosphere Ribbon-cutting, January 17, 2019

in the vast world we live it is often amazing that small and simple things can make such a huge impact. The phenomenon “Butterfly Effect” is just this—that the simple in life like wings flapping of a small butterfly can make a massive difference in our world. As the Butterfly Biosphere opened last January more and more small but significant guests are able to see these also small, but significant insects. Inside the Butterfly Biosphere guests meet butterflies from Costa Rica, the Congo, and more. Butterflies like the Blue Mor-pho and the amazing Great Mormon species are just a couple of the amazing species you’ll get to know! Beyond their natural beauty butterflies can make a huge difference in the world outside of this special venue. Everything that oc-curs at Thanksgiving Point is a result of something similar to the butterfly effect. The smallest visitors, the smallest contributions, the smallest critter—all have helped create the Thanksgiving Point we enjoy today. By small and significant events, the world truly does change around us. These events help the world and help our community. We invite you to join us at the Butterfly Biosphere, the Mu-seum of Natural Curiosity, Farm Country, the Ashton Gardens, and the Museum of Ancient Life to see the living proof of the butterfly effect right here in Utah. Proof that the smallest things can have the biggest impacts.

A PEEK INTOGROWING LEADERS AND 4-H PROGRAMS

i took a walk through Thanksgiving Point’s Farm Country on a hot and dusty July morning. I stepped around a handful of youth clad in bright blue shirts, helping with farm chores. I found another group in the Garden Classroom, making vegetable prints for display in the upper gallery of the Museum of Ancient Life. As I continued my visit, I found clusters of kids all over, happily engaged in var-ious farm activities. These 4-H Junior Master Gardener club members were led by pleasant, enthusiastic teen leaders volunteering with the Growing Leaders program.

Growing Leaders is a teen-run volunteer group at Thanksgiving Point. These teens are part of a service-based 4-H Club. Many have participated in other Thanksgiving Point clubs and summer camps and are now taking the opportunity to give back

to the community through service. These dedicated teens are the backbone of the Junior Master Gardener Club, working directly with youth each week in completing farm chores, craft activities, and agricultural learning experiences.

This year, Growing Leaders members have provided more than 2,000 hours of service at Thanksgiving Point. They have led summer camps, volunteered at Thanksgiving Point attractions, and provided leadership and man power at special events. The Growing Leaders program gives youth the opportunity to harness their passions. The club provides training every other month to build leadership skills. They design and participate in service projects each year in addition to regular volunteer duties.

The 4-H Growing Leaders club is based on a “TRY (Teens Reaching Youth) Team” model. A TRY Team is a club model that benefits both teen leaders and younger 4-H participants. Studies have shown that youth develop more persistence when they are led by volunteers close to their own age. Kids develop a deeper interest in the subjects they are studying, are less likely to miss an activity, and are more likely to become volunteers themselves. When teens mentor younger kids, the

teens learn leadership skills while providing strong role models for the kids they work with. One of our youth leaders stated, “You know, I feel that after working this summer at Thanksgiving Point, I am more social and not socially awkward. I don’t have a problem speaking to people.” Another said, “I love Growing Leaders because of the opportunities it gives me to help others.”

But what do the Growing Leaders gain from the experience? First, these youth who have aged out of many of our summer camps and clubs get the chance to continue to follow their passions! They can play at our museums alongside our staff, helping visitors to have a better experience. They develop leadership qualities and may serve in the club presidency to gain experience planning and leading groups. But, in the words of one club member, “My favorite part of Growing Leaders is volunteering and having fun!”
