Dear friends of Downtown Ogden,
WE NEED YOUR VOICE!!! Next Tuesday, March 15Th at 6:00 p.m., in the Ogden City Building, The Ogden City Council is reviewing the contract with Downtown Ogden Inc. As you know, Downtown Ogden Inc. provides services to and is partners with the Downtown Ogden merchants in providing a myriad of events that create gathering opportunities in Ogden’s Downtown. Examples of this include Festivals and Events, Amphitheater and Street Concerts, Ogden’s First Friday Art Stroll, Ogden’s Historic Farmer’s and Art Market, Monday Night Movies, the Downtown Trolleys and Jupiter Train Rides, Historic 25Th Street Car Show, Wild West Shootout, Trail to Pioneer Days Painted Horses Exhibit, Flower Basket, Beautification and Graffiti Patrol, and many, many more. We feel that we can safely estimate a draw to these events of over 200,000 attendees annually.
The renaissance of Downtown Ogden that has gained local, state and national attention is due in part to the programs provided by Downtown Ogden, Inc. As a community, we cannot afford to have this positive momentum halted and return to the Ogden of ten years ago that has been characterized as “Dark, Dirty and Dangerous.”We ask for your participation this night to help us communicate the value of Downtown Ogden Inc – especially the value they provide to our Downtown Business District.
Please plan on attending, your voice is critical for all our success! Please forward to your friends that love Ogden.
Sincerely,
Dan Musgrave

Hello monday at 10:49 AM

Hello there dear readers,
The past few days have been so exciting and yet so frustrating. We toured the lovely Ivy lane reception center and fell in love. I really don't think we're even going to look at any other places. Now its just about saving and planning and trying to make it all come together. It is super stressful but i am trying not to let the monetary part ruin my excitement for the rest of it.

After we toured the ivy lane we went on a family adventure! We stopped in vintage cupcakes for pink ladies and got a dozen more for my tea party . Next, we went over to the tree house museum for some exhausting family fun. The tree house is so incredible and there is so much to do. We were all tired and ready for a nap before we could visit all the exhibits. After our exhausting run at the tree house hunter fell asleep and the boy and i were ready for some grub. I was craving wings and had a groupon for wing nutz so we headed over. I thought it was a regular restaurant but when i walked in everyone stopped and stared at us and our kid making us feel incredibly awkward so we slowly backed out of there and headed to our favorite spot- Roosters. There is nothing better when you're exhausted than biting into a giant burger and sipping on a cold drink. I love roosters, they are always so nice and the food is fast and good. I am the type of person who will be a loyal customer for life as long as the service is good and the atmosphere is inviting. Ive gone to places with top notch gourmet food that will bring you to your knees but the service was so horrendous i never returned. Roosters has both great food and great service.

After all that walking i was ready for home and as soon as i hit the couch i was gone. luckily it gave me a chance to get plenty of rest because in the morning i realized i had forgotten to go to the store for tea party supplies. Sunday morning was a gloriously beautiful morning and i had no problem motivating myself to hop on my bike and head over to the store. The sky was blue, the air was fresh and it was warm enough to bike without gloves. It was definitely a wind in your hair kind of day. The tea party turned out lovely and ended up being 2 parties in one. The first wave of party goers was mellow and sweet, the second wave brought the ruckus. Its a shame my camera died because everyone was dressed up so cute. I'll definitely have to host another party soon.

The house was clean, i had my Jammies on and i was going to get some writing done only to find my computer crashed....again. My laptop will only stay on for about 10 minutes at a time before just shutting off , and not from overheating. Its beyond broken, this poor computer needs to be taken out back and put out of its misery. Time to start saving up for a new one, hopefully i can get one before this one dies permanently.
